About this ebook
WINNER - IBA Crime Fiction Book of the Year
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.

Brilliant! A fabulous book, with intriguing characters and a strong, riveting storyline. It ends well as it does not fall into 'happily ever after' which I hate in good thrillers.

A new favourite author. Such interesting characters and their stories are fascinating. You can feel the suspense building with every page read and you hope it won't end the way you know it will.
