"...Armitage...shine[s] with impeccable pacing, building tension that adds to the suspense"—AudioFile on His & Hers

“Her best book yet.”—Harlan Coben

The million-copy bestselling Queen of Twists Alice Feeney returns with a gripping and deliciously dark thriller about marriage. . .

. . . and revenge.

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 can’t sleep, and he can’t 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 don’t.

Husbands think their wives won’t change but they do.

“Magnetic and jaw-dropping.”—Mary Kubica, bestselling author

“Alice Feeney is back with another magnetic and jaw-dropping thriller. With a dreamlike quality and atmosphere that is off the charts, Beautiful Ugly takes readers into a world that is charming on the surface, but with danger, hatred and revenge lurking just beneath. Both witty and terrifying; I couldn't put it down!”—Mary Kubica, bestselling author

Sort of ridiculous but OK

A lot of things did not really add up in this book but I did binge it. If you like an unreliable narrator, this would be decent

INCREDIBLE

This was absolutely incredible from start to finish. I cannot get over how amazingly well-crafted this novel is. The narration is of course PERFECT. This novel will keep you guessing all the way to the end. Honestly, Alice Feeney's best work!
