Complices, amoureux, ils mènent la belle vie. Pourtant, un soir, Oliver agresse Alice avec une telle violence qu'il la plonge dans le coma. Alors que tout le monde cherche à comprendre les raisons de cet acte d'une brutalité sans nom, Oliver raconte son histoire. Tout comme les personnes qui ont croisé sa route au cours des cinquante dernières années. Le portrait qui se dessine est stupéfiant. Derrière la façade du mari parfait se cache un tout autre homme. Et lorsque le passé resurgit, personne n'est à l'abri, pas même Oliver. Nouveau génie du suspense psychologique, Liz Nugent dissèque la fabrication fascinante d'un monstre, du mal à l'état pur. Un roman dans la pure tradition de Patricia Highsmith, qu'on ne lâche pas jusqu'à la toute dernière page. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:"Searing, searching, finally scorching. Think Making a Murderer via Patricia Highsmith: an elegant kaleidoscope novel that refines and combines multiple perspectives until its subject is brought into indelible, tragic focus." â??A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window "Pitch-black and superbly written." â??Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Cabin 10 "Top-notch grip lit...incredibly brilliant." â??Marian Keyes, New York Times bestselling author Oliver Ryan has the perfect life. Elegant and seductive, he wants for nothing, sharing a lovely home with his steadfast wife, Alice, who illustrates the award-winning children's books that have brought him wealth and fame. Until one evening, after eating the dinner Alice has carefully prepared, Oliver savagely assaults her and leaves her for dead. But why? The people who know Oliver can only speculate about the reasons behind his brutal act: his empty-headed mistress Moya, vain and petulant; Veronique, the French chatelaine who tragically lost everything the summer she employed him in her vineyard; Alice's friend Barney, who has nursed an unrequited love for her since childhood; Oliver's college pal Michael, struggling with voiceless longings that have shamed him for years. What none of them understands is the dark secret that lies behind his immaculate façade. The revelations that come to light as the layers of Oliver's past are peeled away are as brutal as his singular act of violence. His decades of careful deception have masked a life irrevocably marked by abandonment, envy, and shameâ??and as the details of that life are laid bare, Oliver discovers that outrunning his demons is harder than it looks. With its insight into the mind of a psychopath emerging from the wreckage of his own misbegotten past, Unraveling Oliver is a chilling page-turner, brilliantly crafted and unexpectedly moving, by a stunning new voice in fiction. Liz Nugent "presents a fresh look at a man hiding his violent personality in this intense character study" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). As powerful as Patricia Highsmith's unforgettable noir classic, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Unraveling Oliver will enthrall you from its mesmerizing opening line to its equally shock Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
