“What a crazy, twisted novel! There were a few aspects of the tangled plot line I was able to foresee, but overall, I was pleasantly surprised that the ending shocked me. It’s also appreciated that the author kept the ending realistic without a supernatural or sci-fi twist.”

“Beautiful Ugly- a very visual representation of life on a Scottish island.  Author Grady Green is grieving the loss of his journalist wife who disappeared one year ago - what really happened to her on that lonely road, the day he heard the news that his last book had made the NY Times Best Seller list? His agent, his wife's godmother, suggests he leave London and head to the highlands to a writing cabin formerly owned by a best-selling author, to spend 3 months writing and getting his life back in order. Grady & his dog Colombo head North to the ferry landing. Lots of suspense... Listened to Libro.fm audio book”
