Happy Pub Week to Alice Feeney and Beautiful Ugly. The title's unusual, and so is the story - slow burn suspense with a strong sense of place. PSA: Columbo the dog is not harmed.
A struggling male author retreats to a remote Scottish island with no phone or internet service. Strange things seem to happen to him. Are they real ... or not?
Thank you to Macmillan Audio for advance access to the audiobook expertly narrated by Richard Armitage with Tuppence Middleton and atmospheric sound effects. I was surprised to get another point of view beginning at the 20 percent mark. As I listened, I was never quite sure whether or not Grady was a reliable narrator until the end. I didn't anticipate the reveals in the final chapters, and I'm still not completely sure how I feel about them.
This is my third Feeney novel, but not my favorite. If you haven't read this author, I recommend starting with His & Hers or Daisy Darker.
