“Wives think their husbands will change but they don’t. Husbands think their wives won’t change but they do”
Grady Green is a best selling author. When his wife Abby disappears, he loses his will to write. His publicist sends him to a cabin on the remote island of Amberly hoping it will reignite his creativeness. But when strange things start happening on the island, Grady starts to wonder if he’ll get out alive, let alone with a new book.
In true Alice Feeney style, Beautiful Ugly is packed full of wonderfully quotable one liners. Sentences that really make you think. Ones you read more than once because they just make so much sense in so few words.
Told in a dual perspective of Grady and Abby, the story unfolds in such a clever way it just keeps you guessing and guessing and on your toes throughout. It’s like an impossible jigsaw trying to piece together the puzzle.
The characters are likeable, well developed and there are some really relatable and believable marital scenes. Jam packed with suspense, it had me gripped.
Another hit from Feeney, she’s turning in to a go-to author for me. 5*
Many thanks to NetGalley and PanMacmillan for my advanced copy.
