Beautiful Bad by Annie Ward is one of those thrillers that actually thrill readers by twisting them this way then that. The book opens with a residential attack. We don't know who lives in the house and if any have died or survived. The story slowly introduces you into the small cast of characters, revealing their past. The story shows how these people are linked together for good and sometimes for not so good. Obviously, these people are linked to the beginning of the novel. The reader spends the book trying to figure out who the evil person is. First you lean towards one then the other, back and forth as the story is masterfully woven. It races to a conclusion that isn't a conclusion at all, there is yet one final twist, then again, an encore twist just for good measure. This book holds you tightly until the very last word!
