Feeney masterfully weaves together multiple narrators and timelines, creating a complex and suspenseful narrative that is full of twists and turns.

Really good thriller. I was constantly guessing because it had some really good twists and turns. It was a quick read and I couldn't put it down.

**4.5 stars rounded up for goodreads**

His and Hers is Alice Feeney’s third book but the 4th book of hers I’ve read. She has now become a favorite and I actually prefer her books over the more popular (in the US anyway) books of Ruth Ware. This was an absolute page turner of a thriller and I did not guess the killer, though I did correctly guess one part of the mystery.

I listened to the audiobook and I think it is now one of my favorite audiobooks ever, I will recommend it to anyone asking for a good listen.

I received this book via NetGalley (thank you to the publisher and NetGalley) prior to its release in 2020 and just now got to it: huge mistake on my part as I regret not reading it then!

If you prefer not to have a “heady” read, involving lots of build up, character development, and backstory through the first 150 pages, this may not be the perfect fit for you. I still suggest giving it a try if you’re on the fence.

A crime is committed and that’s where this story begins. It’s told through dual perspectives in the same timeline, alternating back and forth through the experiences and thoughts of each main character, His story and Hers. The novel continues, weaving a single story with two unreliable narrators. There are many characters but they’re easy enough to keep up with.

Throughout the first half of the novel, I spent so much time note-taking, going back to previous chapters, and looking for the minutiae in hopes it would help me solve the question of who the perpetrator was. Let me tell you, I thought I knew who it was (and was very proud of this fact, holding my head high until the end of the book.) But there are quite a few red herrings and twists that will catch you when you least suspect it. I’m still reeling from the ending, not quite sure what to make of it. That’s the ONLY reason I wouldn’t give it Five Stars, it’s more of a 4-4.5.

When I think of mystery, I think of books just like this one, that gives all the thrills. This is a perfect book to snuggle up with on any day.

What a great book! I loved it! Anna Andrews and Detective Jack Harper were portrayed in such a complex way that it was impossible to determine whether they were good or bad. As soon as you thought you were certain, Alice Feeney pulled the rug from under you. I think this is a stellar example of how a psychological thriller should be written.

This book was very entertaining!.I loved the different perspectives. The "Killer" always gave me chills. Sad it took me a while to read it but highly recommend and will check out more from the author.

His & Hers was a suspenseful thriller with a crazy twist! Each of Feeney’s books follow this pattern. In this case, the twist went a little too far off the deep end for me. The book lends itself to great discussion but overall, I did not like it. I give it 3.5⭐️. It was well written but I did not like the ending. Others loved it though, so give it a read and decide what you think!

Wow, this was one wild story. His side, her side, a friend of mine always says there are 3 sides to every story: Her side, his side, and the real story. Alice Feeney does a superb job. Newswoman, Anna Andrews, goes to Blackdown to report on a murder against her wishes. Detective Jack Harper is suspicious of her and then he too becomes a suspect. Story is told by multiple narrators. There are more murders to follow and each seems stranger than the one before. Some people will do anything to keep a secret from being told, even murder.

His & Hers is a great murder mystery that will keep you guessing throughout the entire book! It will have you going back and forth on who you think the killer is and have you suspecting everyone. It has a good level of suspense and great twists.
I really enjoyed it!

This was a book that kept me guessing until the very end. It’s so often that I figure out who the killer is at least halfway into a book, but this wasn’t the case for this particular novel. I had heard so many good things about Alice Feeney and really enjoyed this book, so I’ll be absolutely picking up more of her books. I could do without the gore descriptions, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker for me.

I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.

This tale is told in three different voices, one of “His,” one of “Hers,” and the third voice being that of …

Anna and Jack, a divorced couple, found themselves running into each other through circumstance of a murder case. Anna, who had been covering for the news anchor (Cat Jones) who was away on maternity leave, found herself as a field correspondent again upon Cat’s return. This led her to a story to cover in Blackburn, a place she had vowed never to return. Other women were turning up murdered. Strange things began happening that made Anna think perhaps she was drinking too much or maybe she just didn’t remember doing certain things, like tidying up after herself. Strange things also began happening to Jack as if someone was trying to set him up to take the blame for these murders.

I found myself thinking Person A was the guilty party, but no maybe it was Person B, yet again I went back to Person A. There are some other stories intermixed in the main telling of this tale. It all went back to the day of high school when a group of five girls were seemingly good friends … Rachel, Helen, Anna, Zoe, Catherine. This is definitely a story of past secrets coming to the surface for revenge to be exacted.

(4.5)

This book is as good as the ratings show would lead you to believe it is. It’s written in such a unique voice you can’t help but get sucked in within just a few paragraphs.
Newscaster Anna Andrews is sent to the town of Blackdown, reluctantly, to cover a murder. She’s not fond of the town she grew up in. Detective Jack Harper and his partner Pryia are two of the first people on the scene and Jack’s not exactly thrilled about this one. When Anna shows up with her cameraman, Jack becomes suspicious of her involvement. As time goes by though, he too begins looking guilty. As more time goes by, so does everyone else.
There are a whole lot of secrets out there and there are a lot of people not talking about them. When more people begin showing up dead, things become increasingly out of Jack’s control.
I really can’t tell you much about this because it’s such a step by step story, as a good thriller often is. This story is told from multiple points of views. You have that of His, Hers, and the Murderers. It’s a really cool way to tell the story because you get everyone's perspective of everything going on. With Anna’s, you get a lot of past history that sheds a lot of light on things that are piling up. This will have your head spinning and make you start suspecting someone or more than one person. Maybe you’ll figure it all out. Whether you do or not it really doesn’t matter because the way this is written, the last 20/25% will have you hanging on the edge of your seat with anticipation. The pay off is worth it.
I definitely recommend this book to any and everyone. Usually I’ll try to narrow down the recommendation to a little narrower suggested reader but in this case I just suggest you go for it. It’s really good. If you are able to get the audio book and either go that way or go back and forth (so you never have to stop!) I suggest that. The murderer's voice on the audio book is extremely creepy and adds an extra something to the story. It’s still great without it, but it adds just a little.

***Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, the author, and anyone else out there I may have left off for the review copy of this Ebook. I can’t thank you enough. It’s incredible! Thank you so much!***

The random gore was a little weird, and there were several strangely repetitive chapters th toward the end that didn't feel wholly necessary to me, but, outside of those issues, this was a fun read.

Alice Feeney is quickly becoming one of my favorite thriller writers. Her stories are always engaging, addictive, and filled with twists. When I sat down with this book, I honestly didn't know where I would end up by the finish. And oh...how wonderful that is.

PS. I actually listened to this book on audio. It was the first one of the author's books that I didn't read. And it was very good. The narration complimented the story perfectly.

“There are at least two sides to every story: Yours and mine. Ours and theirs. His and hers. Which means someone is always lying.”

His & Hers by Alice Feeney was a page turner from beginning to end. Meet Him and Her. Him: DCI Jack Harper. Her: Anna Andrews. Both are connected to a string of murders that have recently taken place. Both have motives. Both are hiding secrets. Both claim they are innocent… but are they really?

“There are several characters in this story, each with their own perspective of what has happened.”

His and Hers features multiple POVs.I really enjoyed how the story alternates between characters. It left me wondering if I could trust anything that I was being told. The small-town setting was perfect and provided just enough creepiness for everything that took place. The characters themselves were very dimensional. I flew through this book. Just when I thought that I had everything figured out, the rug was pulled out from under me. This book was entertaining and had my full attention the entire time while reading. It was twisty. It was disturbing. It definitely left me on the edge of my seat.
