Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney

Best-selling author Grady Green's life hasn't been the same since his wife, Abby, disappeared a year ago. Unable to get a good night's sleep and owing a book to his publisher, Grady has hit rock bottom. His literary agent (and Abby's godmother) Kitty suggests Grady go live in a home she owns on the isle of Amberly. Kitty inherited the property from the late author Charles Whittaker, but has never visited. When Grady departs for Amberly he's not allowed to bring his car on the ferry. He also thinks he spots Abby there after arriving. With only twenty-five residents, the people who live on the island are very tight-knit and a bit unusual, which makes Grady uneasy. Author Feeney ratchets up the tension by giving the reader insight into Abby's life before she went missing. A book very hard to put down...
