Alicia Berenson's life seems seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London's most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, then never speaks another word. Her refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety.

Why We Picked It: Because Michaelides has crafted a psychological thriller that keeps you guessing until the final page. This isn't just a mystery—it's a masterful exploration of trauma, art, and the stories we tell ourselves, wrapped in a plot so compelling you won't be able to put it down.
