"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

So, I don't do summaries for mystery/thriller books because I think it's better to go in blind.

I have to tell you, I was HOOKED on Beautiful Ugly, but it took quite a few chapter for that to happen. But I also finished in one sitting. So why the three star rating?...

The pacing was pretty slow. It took me awhile to get into the story, but once I did there were so many questions and I was left curious. However, some of the twists in this title were just really outrageous and unbelievable. The ending left me really uncomfortable to say the least. I mean, I definitely wasn't expecting it, so there's that.

I did have the audio version, so that could make a difference too. I do think the narrators did a great job with this title.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this ALC in exchange for my honest review.
