By the author of the No. 1 Bestselling Strange Sally Diamond
'Truly excellent . . . strongly recommended' Sophie Hannah
__________
'I expected more of a reaction the first time I hit her.'
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, leaving her fighting for her life.
Everyone around Oliver quickly realises that they didn't know him at all. Only he knows the lengths to which he has gone to get the life he so desired. But even he is in for a shock when the past catches up with him.
A gripping page-turner, Unravelling Oliver is perfect for fans of Shari Lapena's The Couple Next Door.

Formidable * Irish Times *
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 * Sunday Times *
A great cracking read ... I couldn't put it down
An ambitiously structured and compelling "whydunnit" * Daily Mail *
Compelling, clever and dark ... you'll gobble it up in one go * Heat Magazine *
A page-turning, one-sitting read from a brand new master of psychological suspense * Sunday Independent *
We read this in one sitting ... satisfyingly unnerving * Woman's Way *
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 * Irish Independent *
