Mystery fans unite! Come and discuss Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney at the Mysterey Book Club. This popular novel has been getting more and more attention as the word-of-mouth continues to spread since it’s publication in the UK last year.
A year after Grady’s wife disappeared, he is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to her.
One year later, Abby is still missing. Grady’s literary agent (and Abby’s godmother) Kitty Goldman suggests he get over his writer’s block by visiting Amberly, a remote Scottish isle home to 25 people. She gives him the keys to a cabin she inherited from Charles Whittaker, a famous author who wrote several books on Amberly before his death.
With his Labrador retriever Columbo, Grady travels from London to Amberly and meets Sandy MacIntyre, the ferry captain and island sheriff. Under the cabin’s floorboards, Grady discovers an unpublished manuscript by Charles Whittaker, as well as the bones of a human hand. Grady secretly reworks the manuscript and sends it to Kitty. He also tells Sandy about the bones, which have vanished when they look again.
