Beautiful Ugly

How does Feeney build a growing sense of unease?

Have you ever been to Scotland? Could you picture the Isle of Amberly? Do you imagine it as similar to anywhere you've ever traveled?

Did you enjoy all the twists and turns of the plot or did it feel convoluted to you?

Which twist was most jaw-dropping for you?

Oh boy that ending! Did you expect it? Did it make sense to you? Did you feel it did a good job of tying up loose ends from earlier in the novel?

Beautiful Ugly is told from both Grady's and Abby's perspective. What does the reader gain by experiencing both points of view? From the way that the novel also jumps back and forth in time?

Did you grow to care about Grady or Abby as characters? What about any of the many eccentric side characters on the island? Why or why not?

Spoiler alert: Beautiful Ugly features a very unreliable narrator. How do you feel about this authorial choice in novels, especially thrillers?

Did you read this or listen to the audio? If the latter, what did you think of the narration by Richard Armitage and Tuppence Middleton?

Had you read any of Feeney's other thrillers? If yes, how did Beautiful Ugly compare? If not, will you be picking them up after reading this book?
