Beautiful Ugly A Novel

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Alice Feeney, the million-copy bestselling Queen of Twists, delivers her most gripping psychological thriller yet—a dark, delicious exploration of marriage, obsession, and the secrets we keep from those closest to us.

Author Grady Green’s life shatters in an instant. During a phone call to share exciting news, he hears his wife Abby slam on the brakes, exit the car, then… silence. When he finds her vehicle at the cliff edge—headlights blazing, door open, phone abandoned—Abby has vanished without a trace.

A year later, consumed by grief and unable to write, Grady escapes to a remote Scottish island seeking solace and answers. There, he sees something impossible: a woman who is the mirror image of his missing wife.

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

This masterfully crafted domestic thriller weaves together past and present, truth and deception, in a story that will keep you breathless until the final, jaw-dropping revelation. Perfect for fans of psychological suspense and anyone who loved Feeney’s previous bestsellers, Beautiful Ugly proves why critics are calling it her best work yet.
