Theo’s interest in the case actually borders on obsessive. There were no apparent problems between Alicia and Gabriel when she murdered him which makes her crime even more shocking. I was completely engaged from the moment I started this – almost immediately we are introduced to the shocking details of the crime. Obsessed with investigating her crime, Theo speaks to the people who knew her best before she killed her husband to try and discover her secrets and get her to talk. He is convinced he can successfully treat her where everyone else has failed. Theo Faber is a forensic psychotherapist who starts working at The Grove, his motivation being to meet Alicia. Since that day, she hasn’t uttered a word. What a beginning! The story centres around Alicia Berenson who is a well known artist who is ensconced in The Grove, a secure psychiatric unit, where she is held for shooting her husband 5 times in the head, 6 years previously. There has been so much hype around this book – Orion have done a fantastic job building the anticipation so when I got sent a copy a couple of weeks before publication I was so excited!Īlicia Berenson was thirty-three years old when she killed her husband.
