Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for the Advance Audio Listen. Wow what can I say! Loved it! Alice Feeney does it again. She grabs a hold of the reader and just does not let go. The narrators did a fabulous job narrating the story. They brought life to the book. They did a great job and kept me captivated until the end. Get ready for some wild twists and turns. Dark and sinister! Highly recommend! Looking forward to more books from this author..

I want to thank Netgalley, MacMillian Audiobooks, and Alice Feneey for giving me the opportunity to listen to a free audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

As per usual I wanted to read this book because Abby from @CrimebytheBook read it and as a loyal follower I read everything she reads :) When Netgalley gifted me a copy I was beyond excited. I read Alice's I Know Who You Are last year and I couldn't wait to dive into this one.

THE NARRATION: Sometimes you need an audiobook to accompany you on your commute to work, long runs, or household chores. If that's the case, then you need to listen to His &Hers. The narration of this book was like something I hadn't heard before. There are three narrators: HIS which is a male's voice, HERS which is a female's voice, and The Truth which is a distorted voice that tells ...well the truth of what happened. The three narrator's points of view keep you guessing as to who the killer is making this format terrifying and engaging. I was so addicted to the audiobook that I made my workout longer just so I could listen to the next chapters.

THE STORY: I love me a good revenge story and in His & Hers is just that. A thrilling, bat-shit crazy thriller about Anna Andrews a BBC newscaster and Jack Harper Detective Chief Inspector.

ANNA is given the opportunity to save her job as a newscaster by covering the murder of a woman. The setting of the murder? Anna's old stomping grounds in Blackdown in the UK. Now, there's a reason why Anna left this small town.... a terrible reason* and when she sees the woman who was murdered in the woods she realizes that she went to school with her. As a matter of fact they were friends...friendship bracelets and all.

JACK is investigating the murder of the woman in the woods. The same woman who Anna knows. Jack and Anna have a romantic history and not only is Jack investigating the murder of this woman but he is a suspect in the case. His footprints and male juices are all over the crime scene.

The story is fast paced and addictive. I was thrilled and engaged the entire time. Completely recommend His & Hers.

* Trigger Warnings: Very descriptive animal abuse, bullying, grooming, sexual harassment

I received a free copy of this audiobook from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I don't read many suspense books, but this description was really intriguing!

I loved the setup of the book where it changed narrator POVs, giving us tiny glimpses of each person's story. And I definitely didn't see the ending! That was a great twist.

I really enjoyed the narrator and would happily listen to more books by this person.

My critique is in the audiobook format itself. I'm not sure if it was glitch in the App or the book itself, but after the credits came on at the end there was still about an hour left of the audiobook. And that hour was the beginning playing over again.

Other than the file glitch, I enjoyed this book! Thank you!

Anna, a TV presenter at the BBC, returns to her hometown to cover a murder. There, she finds out the lead detective is her ex-husband, Jack, and the victim is one of her childhood friends. The story alternates between Jack's (His), Anna's(Hers), and the unknown killer's viewpoints as the murder is investigated.

For a lot of mysteries/thrillers I read/listen to, I enjoy the suspense and anticipation of the book more than the ending and explanation of the mystery. Many endings leave me disappointed after great buildup. This book was the exact opposite. I found the most of the story a little slow, the characters not very likeable, and some dark and disturbing things happen that left me very turned off. However, the ending or last quarter of the book was suspenseful, gripping and surprising. I also enjoyed the alternating viewpoints and all the the narrators did a great job in the audiobook. The murderer's voice was especially creepy which added to the book's eerieness.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review. It is currently set to be published in July 2020.

"His & Hers" by Alice Feeney was a delight to read, a real masterpiece of the thriller genre.
The premise is deceptively straightforward: there's a murderer on the loose, and two unreliable first-person narrators - BBC journalist Anna Andrews and DCI Jack Harper, who used to be married to each other - alternate in telling the story, each seemingly pointing an accusatory finger at the other as the possible culprit.
But nothing is what it seems, and many, *many* more plausible perps will be discovered and discarded throughout the story, until the very last twist in the very last page.
The ending *will* blow your mind, even if you thought you had it all figured out (and you will think that, several times over, through the narration).
I was initially wary of this novel, as I tend to dislike the unreliable narrator technique, since it is often used by mediocre authors as a cheap circus trick to cheat the reader. But this is definitely not the case with "His & Hers": there's no cheating the reader in this book, and nothing is cheap or mediocre in these pages.
The plot is brilliantly constructed and chiselled to perfection: no deus ex machina required, no loose ends left. Reading "His & Hers" will make you journey across an ever-changing landscape of lies, secrets and hidden guilts, in which clues and false leads are so tightly woven together as to completely blur the line between true and false, right and wrong, good and evil.
The characters - all of them, even the minor ones - feel like living, breathing human beings in their flawed complexity. You will end up relating to each and every one of them, even the ones you can't help fearing or despising.
The writing style is sharp and polished, with no frills and not a word out of place.
This must be the best thriller I've read in a very long time, and the experience was made even better by the amazing job Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine did in narrating the audiobook

I finished this one in a day and it was really good. Strong 4.5⭐. It's been a while since I've read a great psychological thriller and this one suprised me positively. I was glued to the book since the first page and it kept me at the edge of the seat at all times.
Even when it seems predictable and when you think you have it all figured out, the story takes a crazy turn and proves you wrong. It was dark and intense with a brilliant plot twist and scream worthy ending. The only reason I'm not giving 5⭐ is because of the descriptive animal cruelty which I wasn't prepared for and that's one of the worst triggers for me. Aside from that I really loved it and I'm definitely reading more of this author.

What a ride! This thriller was creepy, fast-paced, and kept me questioning right up until the end. I listened to the audio version of this one, and the narrators were perfect as well - "Him", "Her", and an unknown third narrator with a voice changer that could be either one...or someone entirely different? This was another fabulous book by this author.

The Book

His & Hers is a good, solid, twisty, dark thriller centering around BBC newscaster Anna Andrews & ex husband DCI Jack Harper.
It is written from 3 alternating view points, Anna, Jack & the killer.
A body is found in the woods, Jack is investigating & ex wife Anna is sent to the scene to report it. The victim is a high school friend of Anna & is very well known to Jack too...
This brings up some very deep dark secrets for Anna & some awful memories, to say they have history is an understatement. Jack meanwhile is trying to find the killer whilst trying to keep his dark secret too.
Although a little unbelievable & confusing at times I enjoyed the ride to the last chapter which was when the killer was unveiled.
I was not knocked over by the revelation but it was different. I'd give the book itself 3.5/5

The Narration

I must say I found the 3 cast narration brilliant. Both Anna & Jack were clear and easy to listen to & the killer just totally freaked me out!
The voice changer was eerie & I often jumped when it came to the killers segment which just added to the overall effect of the audio.
This bought the audiobook up to an overall 4./5

This book absolutely deserved all of my stars! If you love a thriller that keeps you second guessing the entire time, this book is for you!

I listened to this on audio and the narrators were superb! This is one of those books that I'm actually thankful to have listened to vs reading as their narration pulled me deeper into the story. I hated having to hit that pause button, I just wanted to listen nonstop until it ended. For anyone who read the book and was wondering how it was done on audio, feel free to dm me ;) .

I love (and love to hate?) unreliable narrators, characters that are a hot mess and not necessarily likable yet you still get drawn into their stories. The dual perspective was perfect! The woods were a total added bonus. The entire time I was second guessing myself. I did get it right, but that doesn't matter since I kept thinking I was wrong and there were such good reasons to think I was wrong! Plus, there was still a twist. I love when I'm constantly reviewing things in my head.

I often don't put the plot into my reviews because 1) the synopsis is right up there ^ and 2) I know there are other people like me who prefer going into books blind, especially thrillers, so if you want to know any of that, you gotta read the synopsis. Just know that it's a kick ass thriller with twists that keep you guessing/second guessing throughout. And if you don't like messy characters and unreliable narrators, then this one probably isn't for you.

Many thanks to Netgalley, Macmillan Audio/Flat Iron books for the ALC!

This is a HEAVY audiobook.

Narrated by two narrators, a man and a woman, "His & Hers" is about a homicide detective, Jack, investigating the murder of a woman, known personally by him and his ex-wife, Anna. Anna is a reporter, assigned the case, and accordingly back in Jack's life.

The audiobook has dual perspectives (past and present) and dual narrators (jack and Anna).

There are many sections to this book, and almost every section ends on a cliffhanger.

As we join Jack and Anna on this creepy murder investigation, we learn what happened in their past and whether it affected the present.

There are heavy themes in this book, and I had to take breaks to keep my mood from spiraling into depression.

The narration was really good, but I don't recommend this audiobook to anyone who can't handle a UK accent. Sometimes the narration is too monotonous, and I found myself rewinding the book because I had been lulled into a state of calm and was completely ignoring the book.

This was a really good, creepy mystery. Although for me, I would have liked a "trigger" warning for one of the themes, which is saying a lot because I'm not really a very triggerable person.

Thanks to NetGalley, publisher and author, for allowing me to have a free copy of this audiobook. I really liked this book from the start. I had a problem, though; It would stop at odd places. When I tried to play again, it would take me to a different place in the book than the one I had finished. I tried to bookmark where I was so I would not lose my place next time it stopped but It didn't work. So sad.

I loved the voices...especially the mystery voice at the end.

This was a pretty good story. Not overly gory or twisty however.

Everyone is suspect. All have motive. So whodunnit?

It’s not easily guessable. And that I enjoyed!

Detective Jack Harper is called in to investigate a murder, but is shocked to discover the victim was the woman he was sleeping with just the night before. He can't let anyone know, his lies would destroy his career. Anna Andrews, Jack's ex wife is the journalist covering the case and the relationship between Jack and his ex is complicated, to say the least. To be honest the creepiest character in this story is anti hero, Jack, a man it's impossible to like. Armitage and Racine do an amazing job of bringing this domestic thriller to life, with excellent pacing and a dramatic flair that emphasizes the air of menace

Thank you netgalley and Macmillan audio for this amazing audio book !!!!!

So so good a page tuner from the start, Story of Jack Harper (Detective) and Anna Andrews ( a TV anchor person/ reporter) in a small town where usually not much happens but when a murder takes place .... you really need to listen to the audiobook/read the book to find out what happens next.
Both narrators Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine did a fantastic job. There are different POV in the book and they brilliantly expressed the emotions and carried out the narratives. Definitely preferred team narrators it makes the story more real and interesting.
A psychological thriller, murder mystery and suspenseful story as soon as I felt I found out what was happening the turns in the story left me pondering again. Totally recommend this as a July must read !

The storyline itself was not the most exciting one, but it was enjoyable and complete as a whole without any plots left hanging mid air. The narrators did an excellent job though, it literally gave me chills while I was listening. I would strongly recommend an audiobook version.

A 3.5 stars story but the audio itself made it to 4.

This audiobook was ok for me. It was written well enough to keep me interested but as a mostly run of the mill high school girls getting back at eachother, it seemed somewhat predictable. I had a hunch on the twisty ending but wasn’t 100% confident. Maybe I just read too many thrillers lol. I did LOVE the fact that during the audiobook they disguised the killers voice so you couldn’t really tell it was a man or a woman. That did make it a tad bit harder to figure out who really was the killer.

The story I enjoyed just I found that the audio quality wasn't as good as what i was expecting. The voices as well didn't seem to match for me and i know there was 2 readers just they didn't seen to mesh well together

It took away from the story

Oh Alice!

Your prose is so enticing...making a cup of tea sounds so irresistible!

The musings of your characters so honest and thought provoking-
like when Anna tucked money into the food she gave the homeless girl, saying she didn’t mind if she spent the money on alcohol-after all-that is what she spent her money on too...

Your misdirection flawless, with plenty of plausible red herrings for us to suspect and then reject along the way!

So, please realize that the animal abuse you insist on including in your books is gratuitous-it isn’t needed for shock value, when you have the talent that you do, and SO many of your readers do NOT want to read it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️-minus one star for making me ENDURE THAT!!


There are always two sides to every story-meaning someone is always lying

In this case, we have three:

Anna Andrews-BBC presenter covering a murder in Blackdown, the sleepy, countryside village she grew up in.

DCI Jack Harper, the lead investigator who doesn’t confess that he knew the murder Victim, until he realizes he is becoming a suspect.

And-the murderer-a distorted VOICE on the audio, who could be male or female, and who explains the motive and murder to YOU, the reader, beginning in Chapter One.

All lead messy and imperfect lives, but where other reviewers disliked them-I actually felt sorry for them and was hoping they would eventually find their way...

I found this to be a SLOW burn, as the back stories of the characters, and the clues to the crime, are revealed in a TANTALIZING manner, alternating between ALL three perspectives until the final reveal in the end.

All of your questions are answered and again, it’s a book that BEGS you to reread the first chapter after the last, so you can see the clues you missed.

“Loose threads should be tied up-they can be SO messy!”

“Sometimes I lie” was a 5 star read for me.
“I know Who You Are” only earned two stars
“His and Hers” returns to form-again 1 star deducted for gratuitous CAT abuse.

Thank You to NetGalley, and Macmillan for providing an Audio ARC, in exchange for a candid review!

3.5 stars I really enjoyed this book. It was full of twists and turns and definitely held my interest. I did find it slightly confusing at some points but it had a great ending.

Fast-paced and engaging thriller!

Opens off with a blast and will get you hooked right away. And the ending is just amazing. The alternative narratives of Jack(his) and Anna(her) were interesting and kept the complicated plot more straightforward. The twists throughout seemed predictable but the brilliant twist at the end will blow your mind away. It is definitely addictive!

The audio version was amazing. The killer voice was creepy and chilling. It was fun to listen as well.
