About this listen

'I was consumed by this book, it's her best ever, a work of genius' – Lisa Jewell, author of None of This is True

The million-copy bestselling author of His and Hers, Alice Feeney, returns with a gripping and deliciously dark thriller about marriage . . . and revenge.
* * *
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.
Wives think their husbands will change, but they don’t.
Husbands think their wives won’t change, but they do.

So disappointing
Been waiting for this book…. Despite all the rave reviews it really is a ridiculous story…if thenarrator said ‘I must be losing my mind’ or ‘I need to get off this island’ I nearly lost my mind! Good narration though thankfully!

Dark, twisty thriller
A strange book, a little unbelievable but also very good. Dark and unpredictable , would recommend

Something different and gripping
I loved this. So many thrillers these days follow the same formula. This one was a little different and I devoured it in two days. Gripping thrilling and twists everywhere. Couldn’t put it down.

Worth it for the narration alone!
A good book made great by Richard armatige’s narration. Story good overall if a bit repetitive and unrealistic. Great setting !

Interesting, but not remarkable
I normally love Richard narrating but with this book it sounded like he couldn’t breathe properly. It was too breathy and a lot of repetition.

I’m depressed now!
Only listen to this book if you are in a positive frame of mind. There were so many good reviews I thought I would give it a go. Don’t quite know why I kept listening.

Awfully good :)
This is what "Beautiful Ugly" is like. It's gripping, addictive, very mysterious, and awfully good :) I couldn't stop listening, and when I finally stopped to get back to my duties, I couldn't stop thinking about what would happen next. I wanted to get back to the "Edge" as soon as possible, get back to Grady and his faithful companion Columbo, back to Abby...
I probably don't need to mention how wonderful it is to hear this novel read by Richard Armitage and Tuppence Middleton, but I will mention it in case you still have any doubts about the greatness of this work of art :)
I recommend it with all my heart!!!
Thank you Alice for taking me on this amazing journey :)
