Reseñas de la Crítica

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)

I was spellbound by the story.

I liked the way it gripped me all the way. Best book for a long time

Gripping but infuriating

I haven't listened to a book so intently for a while- i was thoroughly gripped and genuinely uneasy in places.
But the main character is really irritating- he just accepts such wild things happening to him.
I saw it may become a movie.....I think it would be a terrible film. So many clichés and tired old tropes.
This is a good holiday read but it's so annoying - narration is superb- one of the best I've heard-, though you can really hear the added edits.
But if her general style is breaking trust with the reader, I won't be listening to another.

Terrible book

Slow. Boring. Waste of time. Really disliked the middle and ending repetitive. Felt like a totally different book to the beginning and the story line just felt so fake and forced
