It felt like a methodical read, like a continual set of bullet points or points of facts in an instruction manual. But nothing that took much thought. Unfortunately this meant I couldn’t really explain what was happening other than a process, but the ‘humanity’ was added by Rosie. I shall be seeking out the next books in the series.https://forum.royalnavy.mod.uk/events/community-events/b/announcements/posts/chill-chat-coffee-morningWed, 30 Sep 2026 12:54:00 GMTb28a645c-0ea2-4600-866f-e043a0fddeae:199d8cd4-21eb-494b-b639-37efa0fbc00bRN Forum ModeratorSet yourself up for the week ahead with a friendly online coffee Morning for Families of the Service Community.

Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect until one evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and she shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk turns a domestic tragedy into a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at a secure forensic unit in North London. Criminal psychotherapist Theo Faber has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to reveal why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....
