Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney

4.0

This book had me completely hooked. Grady Green, a down and out writer who is still reeling from his wife’s disappearance, is struggling to revive his career with little success. When his publicist suggests a peaceful writing retreat on a remote Scottish island, Grady jumps at the chance for some much-needed isolation. But once he arrives, he begins to sense that something sinister is at play. I absolutely loved the mystery and the gothic atmosphere in this book, especially how Feeney hints at an underlying lie that keeps the reader guessing. While the ending was a bit underwhelming, I still really enjoyed the book overall.
