PREPARE TO BE HOOKED BY THE GRIPPING THRILLER FROM SUNDAY TIMES AND MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER ALICE FEENEY. NARRATED BY RICHARD ARMITAGE (THE HOBBIT, FOOL ME ONCE) AND TUPPENCE MIDDLETON (DOWNTON ABBEY).

*AN INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*


Wives think their husbands will change, but they don’t.
Husbands think their wives won’t change, but they do.


Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life.

Grady calls his wife as she’s driving home to share some exciting news. He hears Abby slam on the brakes, get out of the car, then nothing. When he eventually finds her car by a 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.

Kritikerstimmen

Alice Feeney is one of my absolute favourites (Samantha Downing, bestselling author of For Your Own Good)
When I started reading Beautiful Ugly, I was not prepared to feel such joy in the writing, yet such terror in the story. A missing wife, a tortured couple and a lonely writer banished to a mysterious Scottish island, this exquisite novel is a relationship drama, a darkly twisting thriller and an examination of the fine line between isolation and loneliness. Alice Feeney has created a masterpiece, a riveting read, immaculately written (Janice Hallett, author of The Twyford Code)
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, author of Local Woman Missing )
Wicked, wild, sinister and shocking. Alice Feeney rips up the rule book yet again. Beautiful Ugly is unpredictable and unforgettable (Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End )
Alice Feeney is one of my favourite thriller writers and this is her best book yet. Highly addictive and beautifully written. Read Beautiful Ugly right now and thank me later (Harlan Coben, author of Fool Me Once )
I’m a huge fan of Alice Feeney and Beautiful Ugly is an atmospheric gem of a thriller, weaving an unpredictable and clever plot that will keep you guessing until the very end. Brilliant and chilling, with an inspired setting, characters that jump off the page and twists to give you whiplash. I loved every word (Claire Douglas, author of The Sisters )
Sharp, devious and so clever. The ending blindsided me completely! (Natalie Chandler, author of What We Did )
Be prepared to put your life on hold when you start this novel because there is a new twist on pretty much every page. Will you believe the husband or the wife’s story? As with every marriage, the truth is pretty murky right up to the very end. This is immersive and addictive storytelling (Araminta Hall, author of One of the Good Guys)
I was consumed by this book, it's her best ever, a work of genius. (Lisa Jewell, author of None of This is True )
This is dazzling and clever, and builds to a brilliant finale with an audacious pay off. I loved it! (Chris Ewan, author of The House Hunt )
Dark, clever, unusual and so beautifully written. A rare book were I truly had no idea where it was going, but that rewarded me with a surprise ending that worked perfectly. (Louise Swanson, author of End of Story )
Feeney is firmly established as psycho thriller royalty, so expectations are high with each new title . . . Her cleverly titled latest book does not disappoint . . . a brilliant study of marriage and revenge (The Daily Mail)

A really compelling and intriguing story. Initially I found it a little difficult to come to terms with the whining male protagonist and his constant self-pity. But once I accepted him for what he is I couldn't stop listening.
Unnecessary to comment on Armitage, he is supreme as usual. I actually don't know many male actors who can deliver female voices in such a natural way. And the Scottish accent is just perfect!
The atmosphere on the island and it's inhabitants is created in a very clever and subtle way, and you get the sense that "something's just not right" with these people. But there's suspense and in no hurry is the storyline developed.
Very good audiobook which I can recommend to everyone who loves suspense and being kept on the edge without bloodthirsty violence.

Brilliant and with a shot of darkness

The punch is twisted and makes no sense; it’s a feminist book and I have enough of it.

Ordinary

as much as I loved the two other books of the author, this one didn't convince (me :). I'll try again with her next 📖

Für Fans von The Wickerman :) wunderschön vorgelesen; es ist meine unvoreingenommene Meinung, dass dies ihr bisher bestes Buch ist. :)-

Ich freue mich schon auf eine neue Geschichte!

Grandios!

Twists and turns, exciting concept of a women-only island as well as the meta story of an author trapped in their own process, themes of connection/disconnection with one’s self and community and the healing power of community
