Beautiful Ugly is a dark, addictive psychological thriller from the million-copy bestselling Queen of Twists, Alice Feeney. With her signature style of shocking turns and unforgettable characters, Feeney delivers her most haunting and emotionally layered novel yet — a gripping story of marriage, betrayal, and the terrible cost of revenge.

Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life. A successful author with career-changing news to share, he calls his wife Abby as she’s driving home. But something goes terribly wrong. He hears her slam on the brakes, get out of the car… and then nothing. When he finally tracks down her vehicle, it’s abandoned near a cliff’s edge. The headlights are still on. Her phone is in the car. But Abby is gone.

As days turn into weeks, and then a year, Grady is still consumed by her disappearance. Grief-stricken and desperate for answers, he retreats to a remote Scottish island, hoping to find peace — or perhaps inspiration for a new book. But what he finds instead is impossible: a woman who looks exactly like Abby. And she knows things only Abby would know.

Beautiful Ugly explores the fractured layers of a seemingly perfect marriage and dives deep into the murky waters of truth and memory. What really happened the night Abby disappeared? Can love survive the most devastating secrets? And how far would someone go for revenge?

As the story unfolds, Grady is forced to confront everything he thought he knew about his wife, his past, and even himself. Each page peels back another layer of deception, leading to a jaw-dropping finale that will leave readers breathless.

Tense, emotionally resonant, and brilliantly plotted, Beautiful Ugly is a masterclass in psychological suspense. It’s a novel about the lies we tell to protect those we love… and the lies that destroy us.

Fans of The Silent Patient, Gone Girl, and Verity will be instantly drawn into this chilling, twist-filled ride. In Beautiful Ugly, nothing is what it seems  and no one walks away unscathed.
