Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life.
Grady calls his wife to share some exciting news as she is driving home. He hears Abby slam on the brakes, get out of the car, then nothing. When he eventually finds her car by the cliff edge the headlights are on, the driver door is open, her phone is still there. . . but his wife has disappeared.
A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby. He cant sleep, and he cant write, so he travels to a tiny Scottish island to try to get his life back on track. Then he sees the impossible a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife.
Wives think their husbands will change but they dont.
Husbands think their wives wont change but they do.
This may be Feeneys most delightfully chilling thriller yet. . . Feeney mixes gothic atmosphere on a remote Scottish island; not one, but two possibly unreliable narrators; a woman who may or may not be dead; and a plot that delivers suspense like an IV drip. . . A completely immersive puzzle.
Booklist (starred)
The books slow unfolding of dread, mystery, and then truth is both creative and well-paced. . . Deeply satisfying.
Kirkus
Alice Feeneys thrillers are always such a fun time, filled with well-earned twists and surprises. And Beautiful Ugly might just be her best one yet.
