Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Unravelling Oliver by Liz Nugent, read by Kevin Hely, Stephen Hogan, Tracy Keating, Roy McMillian , Steven Laverty, Michele Moran, Kathy O'Brien and Sam O'Mahony.


Oliver Ryan is a handsome and charismatic success story. He lives in the suburbs with his wife, Alice, who illustrates his award-winning children's books and gives him her unstinting devotion. Their life together is one of enviable privilege and ease - enviable until, one evening after supper, Oliver attacks Alice and beats her into a coma.

In the aftermath, as everyone tries to make sense of his astonishing act of savagery, Oliver tells his story. So do those whose paths he has crossed over five decades. What unfolds is a story of shame, envy, breath-taking deception and masterful manipulation.

Only Oliver knows the lengths to which he has had to go to get the life to which he felt entitled. But even he is in for a shock when the past catches up with him.

Before becoming a full-time writer, Liz Nugent worked in Irish film, theatre and television. In 2014 her first novel, Unravelling Oliver, was a Number One bestseller and won the Crime Fiction Prize in the 2014 Irish Book Awards. Her second novel, Lying in Wait, went straight to Number One in the Irish bestseller charts, remained there for nearly two months and won her a second IBA. She lives in Dublin with her husband.

Reviews

Formidable Truly excellent ... strongly recommended Incredibly brilliant The compulsion to continue reading never wanes and most impressively the ending doesn't buckle under the weight of expectation ... a persistently satisfying read A great cracking read ... I couldn't put it down Compelling, clever and dark ... you'll gobble it up in one go A page-turning, one-sitting read from a brand new master of psychological suspense We read this in one sitting ... satisfyingly unnerving All I know is I stayed awake until 3am to finish it, which I haven't done with a new novel for longer than I can remember Her writing is stylish, the characters are vivid ... Can't recommend it highly enough Magnificent ... compulsively readable ... stunning, shock and superb "I expected more of a reaction the first time I hit her" ... The No 1 bestselling story of the making of a sociopath that has been compared to Gone Girl Compelling, clever and dark, unlike any other psychological thriller you will have read before ... you'll gobble it up in one go The compulsion to continue reading never wanes ... a persistently satisfying read. Truly excellent, beautifully written ... strongly recommended Expand reviews
