About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Unravelling Oliver by Liz Nugent.
Winner - IBA Crime Fiction Book of the Year.
Liz Nugent's gripping audiobook of psychological suspense, Unravelling Oliver, is a complex and elegant study of the making of a sociopath in the tradition of Barbara Vine and Patricia Highsmith.
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, breathtaking 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.
Liz Nugent has worked in Irish film, theatre and television for most of her adult life. She is an award-winning writer of radio and television drama and has written short stories for children and adults.
Unravelling Oliver is her first novel.

Not Sure
I thought it was okay. I did not care for the storyline too much. I kept listening hoping I would feel more for the characters but I just could not seem to care.
it was overall just depressing and I kept waiting for it to get better. I'm surprised at the stellar reviews.

Riveting!
Read this book. You won’t regret it. My only critique is that with so many narrators...why not have one with a French accent to read Veronique’s chapters? Otherwise, excellent.
