REALLY enjoyed this one. I'm fairly new to audiobooks and the narrator's voice and story had me hooked. I listened to it in two sittings and I didn't want it to end. The story has lots of surprises and twists and turns....definitely did not see that end coming! I'll read, or listen, to anything Alice Feeney does.

This was so intriguing!! I love the dual POV and the story was told in such a fun way. I was hooked from the begining.

I do not like when the book focusses on the police so that really lost me and I did not care when it switched to that character

I received an ARC of this book thanks to NetGalley and publisher Macmillan Audio in exchange for an honest review.

His & Hers is the story of two exes and their respective involvement in a murder investigation as a reporter and a police officer. When Anna's ex-friend and Jack's current lover Rachel is found murdered in a car, it becomes the start of a murder spree focused around people from their past. As they both try to figure out what's going on, trust begins to wane on both sides and neither knows exactly who to trust.

This was an enjoyable thriller, albeit one which suffers a little from its own simplicity in plot. Due to the author and general blurb, I was expecting a twist going in and so I spent a lot of the time trying to work out what it was instead of focusing on the story being told. The story itself is a decent one but if you're used to other works by the author, you might be disappointed by the relative 'straight-forwardness' of the thriller element. It is engaging and surprising, but doesn't have a huge trick like some of the other works.

As an audiobook, this mostly worked well but there was some confusion in the voices. There are two narrators for Anna and Jack, and then additional sections narrated by the killer. Presumably to prevent it being obvious who is the killer, they are alternatively narrated by Anna and Jack's voice actors using a distortion technique, but this only serves as a distraction. I do wish they'd just gotten in a third voice actor rather than swapping between them, as again it just primes you for a twist at best and is distracting at worst. I found myself just ignoring these sections mostly as they weren't particularly insightful or interesting.

Overall, this was an enjoyable enough listen. The narrators did a great job with the material and the story is interesting enough to keep your attention. If you go in expecting a typical (well-written) thriller, then you're in for a good time

Overall Rating: 3/5 stars

Loved this story, all the twists and turns and who dunnits. I didn’t see that end coming. Alice Feeney is always great for an amazing plot twists. I always feel like I am right there in all the stories she tells.

Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties on my end, I couldn’t get the file to download before it disappeared, and was archived. I will definitely try to read or listen to it in the future, however.

I finally decided to give this one another go. Since the audiobook went away before I had a chance to read it.
I am becoming an Alice Feeney but sadly this one just wasn’t a favorite. I wanted to love it like I did her newer books sadly I didn’t.

I was not keen on the narration style, and realise that for me I just don't get on with audiobooks. The plot was great and the content was great, but I didn't get as in to it as I would with a book. I feel unfair rating this as 3 stars, as I am sure it would be much higher in written form for me.

Loved the mystery and suspense of who the killer was. Totally shocking, the multiple narrators were brilliant and have the killers voice distorted gave this audio a chilly effect

I listened to the audiobook for this novel. I really enjoyed all the twist and turns in the plot and would recommend this book to others looking for a great thriller.

I liked the premise of the story, but I couldn't like the characters. Everyone seems so untrustworthy, as I'm sure the author designed in order to keep the reader guessing, but that left us without someone to root for. By the end, I was just glad to have a resolution and didn't really care one way or another who the perpetrator was. Even the twist at the end fell flat for me.

I did not get around to reading this book prior to it’s publication date and it has since been archived therefore I cannot leave a review at this time.

Well, this was one heck of a book! I started off reading it, then switched to the audiobook and ended up loving it!! The narrators were really great, and the story was super fast-paced with lots of twists and turns. I was shocked by the ending too, which is always a plus. Alice Feeney is becoming a favorite author of mine!

Wow! I couldn’t put this down! Feeney has a unique thriller style that I just love. I would read anything by her!

This audioboook kept me riveted! I had no idea who the killer was and I loved all of the POVs. Both narrators were terrific and I felt like I was listening to a play. A truly wild ride!

Thanks to Macmillan Audio for the copy to review.

I struggle with this author despite continuously trying with all of her books. I just hated both characters. Which is probably the point but who wants to read a book where you hate the characters and then the ending?! My gosh I wish there was abou 40 pages more. So sorry and hope this helps.

This was such a good read. Thrilling and mostly unpredictable. Well, I did guess some of the whodunnit about half way through, but it’s really because I read a lot of murder mysteries/thrillers. Alice Feeney writes unreliable narrator as no one else does, and if that’s a genre you enjoy (like I do) go for it!

Loved this book! There were so many twists and turns that one could never be sure whether Anna Andrews or Detective Jack Harper was good or bad. And when you thought that you were sure, Alice Feeney pulled the rug from under your feet. This is a perfect example of how a psychological thriller should be.

Both Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine did an excellent job narrating the book.

His & hers by Alice Feeney.
Narrated by Richard Armitage and Stephenie Racine.
10 hours and 39 minutes.
There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, His & Hers. Which means someone is always lying.
Wow. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Loved the narrators. 5*.

I really liked this book and the different point of view. Was a slow first few chapters and then I couldn’t stop listening! I was really impressed. Love anything Feeney writes!
