Unraveling Oliver: A Novel

In this â€œcompelling, clever, and darkâ€ (Heat magazine) thriller, a manâ€™s shocking act of savagery stuns a local communityâ€”and the revelations that follow will keep you gripped until the very last page. This work of psychological suspense, a #1 bestseller in Ireland, is perfect for fans of Patricia Highsmith and Ruth Ware.

â€œI expected more of a reaction the first time I hit her.â€

So begins Liz Nugentâ€™s astonishing debut novelâ€”a chilling, elegantly crafted, and psychologically astute exploration of the nature of evil.

Oliver Ryan, handsome, charismatic, and successful, has long been married to his devoted wife, Alice. Together they write and illustrate award-winning childrenâ€™s books; their life together one of enviable privilege and easeâ€”until, one evening after a delightful dinner, Oliver delivers a blow to Alice that renders her unconscious, and subsequently beats her into a coma.

In the aftermath of such an unthinkable event, as Alice hovers between life and death, the coupleâ€™s friends, neighbors, and acquaintances try to understand what could have driven Oliver to commit such a horrific act. As his story unfolds, layers are peeled away to reveal a life of shame, envy, deception, and masterful manipulation.

With its alternating points of view and deft prose, Unraveling Oliver is â€œa page-turning, one-sitting read from a brand new master of psychological suspenseâ€ (Sunday Independent) that details how an ordinary man can transform into a sociopath.
