The Ugly Duckling
4 journalers for this copy...
A great book by Iris Johansen...fast read too!!!
From the back cover:
If fate suddenly made you more beautiful than you ever dreamed possible, would it be the beginning of a fairy tale, or your worst nightmare...
The brutal attack should have killed anybody, but Nell Calder did more than survive. She emerged a woman transformed, with an exquisite beauty found only in fairy tales. Nell Calder deserved a happy ending. Instead, her descent into terror has just begun.
Her attacker is still on the hunt, determined to finish what he's started. And Nell, protected by a new face, is just as determined to fight back and take her revenge. But to catch her prey, she will have to expose herself - even if it makes her a killer's prime target.

Gave this to BigJohnLefty at our Des Moines meetup on March 9th. Happy reading!!!
Given the book by lisabb2 at a meetup. Plan to read soon.
After having never read mysteries or thrillers before joining BookCrossing, I've become rather fond of the genre, with this particular author rapidly becoming one of my favorites.
There are a lot of plot twists in this, and it was interesting enough to be a pretty fast read.

I've always liked Iris Johansen's books but for some reason I couldn't get in to this one. I didn't really get past the first few pages before I decided just to put it down.
