This work of psychological suspense, a #1 bestseller in Ireland, is perfect for fans of Patricia Highsmith and Ruth Ware. "I expected more of a reaction the first time I hit her." So begins Liz Nugent's astonishing debut novel--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 children's books; their life together one of enviable privilege and ease--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 couple'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 "a page-turning, one-sitting read from a brand new master of psychological suspense" ( Sunday Independent ) that details how an ordinary man can transform into a sociopath. 650 0 $a Marital violence $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Wife abuse $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Psychological fiction. 655 0 $a Domestic fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 7 $a FICTION / Psychological. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Suspense. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Family Life. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Suspense fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006112441.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20180719025457.0 952 $l NKPD993 $d 20180718042257.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=78353CAC8A5411E8ACCF452097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
