Three years ago, Alice and I went away for a fun weekend with our big group of friends. But at the end of the trip, police cars flooded the house where we were staying. Alice had been found. Dead. And no one knew what happened to her.
I’ve tried to remember the lost hours before her death, but only snapshots appear in my mind – Alice’s silk scarf, given to her by a secret boyfriend, the silly argument we had when she refused to tell me, and her relationship with Tom, the man who would later become my own husband…
Now, as I talk to my therapist, my heart pounds in my chest. Because I’ve had a breakthrough. And I start to remember that I was there when Alice took her last breath. I was standing over her… could I be her killer?
As my therapist begins to question all our friends, one thing becomes clear – we all have a different version of events. I’m certain someone close to me is keeping a deadly secret. How can I believe anyone around me, when I can’t even trust myself?
An absolutely gripping psychological thriller, perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and The Silent Patient. Prepare to stay up all night to find out what really happened to Alice!

The Guilty Patient
Written By Luana Lewis
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Review
First, I want to thank Luana Lewis, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing this book so I can bring you this review.
Luana Lewis brings us readers a different kind of psychological thriller that I am used to in her latest The Guilty Patient. Where one of the main characters point blank confesses killing someone hiding nothing.
I loved how Luana made her prologue stand out with vivid descriptive details of the events that had been seen. This hooked me into the story wanting to know what happened to the poor girl.
What I found interesting is Mia confessed to killing her only friend and best friend Alice but WHY?!!! When readers find out why it’s a shocker!!!!
Through the story we learn a little more about Mia’s past
