The quiet book

Picked up at the Muscat Book fair, this book has a fairly engaging premise. Everyone knows that the wife killed her husband but noone knows why. The wife has been catatonic and totally silent since the murder and is now housed in a psychiatric facility. So the real mystery is her motive. Well paced, the book draws you in using the PoV of her fascinated psychotherapist with marital issues of his own. The twist isn't totally surprising but the last chapter is. I wish I could say I polished the book off in a single sitting but two kids and a lock-down make that impossible. I can say I finished it off fairly quickly since the husband took the kids away from my vicinity and I indulgently savoured the twist and and ending.
