My first Netgalley audiobook. The excitement! Getting all comfy in the only quiet place in the house (a.k.a. the toilet in the bathroom), dropping my pants, dimming the lights. Putting my noise cancelling head phones on and waiting for the Netgalley app to start playing. It starts.
I was lucky I already dropped them or I would've shat my pants from the sound that came through the speakers. Holy goddamn hell, it's what I imagine 'voices' sound like when I read about people who mention the voices in their head "made them do terrible things". Was the app crap? My headphones broken again? The diabolical voice continued and that's when I realised this was the distorted voice of the killer. In-ffing-genious!
After this shockingly great start, I pretty much devoured the rest of this audiobook, which has three narrators: one for 'him' a.k.a. DCI Jack Harper, one for 'her', a.k.a. news reporter Anna Andrews, and one for the killer, who could pretty much be anyone. *insert suspenseful music*
I honestly can't say much else without revealing too much. The blurb mentions " <i>His & Hers is a fast-paced, complex, and dark puzzle that will keep listeners guessing until the very end. </i>" Damn rights it is. I even laughed at the end of the book. Not because the situation became a laughable matter or anything, just...*mind blows*. I found out I'm a huge sucker for plot twists and this book is a valhalla for plot twist lovers. I think the term might even be twisted plot here.
Why not 5 stars, you might wonder? Because A. frugal is my middle name, and B. I zoned out a few times when stereotypical shit became too stereotypical.
Recommending it? Hell yeah. Especially the audiobook. If you're an audiobook newbie, this might be the one to pull you in (and make you too lazy to use your eyes for reading afterwards).
