This book is super tropey and soapy and I loved it! The dual POVs worked really well and the POV of the killer hinted at someone being unreliable. It was great! I love trying to guess the twists of books and while did guess some of them, there were others that did surprise me! With some small town secrets thrown in there, I was hooked! Really enjoyed this one!!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review. This review will be posted immediately on GoodReads and a shortened review can be found on my Instagram.

You guys, I love Alice Feeney, and I was so happy I got my hands on this! I ended up purchasing a finished copy and I LOVED IT. She seriously writes the best twisty back and forth suspense ever, and His & Hers is no exception. Thanks for the opportunity to read it!

I listened to this audiobook during a long drive. It is told from 3 perspectives and moves along nicely. I really liked the added touch of a different voice for the murderer.

Perspective 1: Anna (her) is a broadcaster who just her in air hosting spot. She is sent to investigate a murder in her hometown.

Perspective 2: Jack (him) is a detective assigned to the murder who happens to be Anna’s ex-husband. And was just had a tryst with the victim the night before she was found dead.

Perspective 3: The murderer!

Another great book by Alice Feeney. Full of twists that keep you guessing until the end.

I’m so excited about NetGalley doing audiobooks now and I really enjoyed this one. I’ve read a few books by this author and so far I’ve loved all of them including this one. This book will hook you from the beginning and you’ll just keep listening until it’s finished.

I wasn’t able to make the app work and was not able to listen, it is now archived. Bummer. Hopefully my library has a copy.

Anna Andrews is a presenter for the BBC News. She presents the 1:00 pm newscast. She has this position since the person who had her slot is on maternity leave. When she returns, she is pushed to work in the field. Her first assignment is to report on a murder in her hometown. To top it off she has to work with her ex-husband,Jack, on this case and she knows the victim. When more people she knows end up dead both she and her ex are considered suspects. But we know there are always more than one side to a story, this is His & Hers.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this audio book and review it.

You all know how much I love a good thriller. I have really enjoyed all of the other books that Alice Feeney has written and this one was no exception.

While listening to this book, I knew for sure who was killing all of these women. Of course it's the drunk woman who forgets what happens while she is drinking. Not only is the author good at making you not know who is the killer, the killer is good at framing other people for their crimes.

There is a lot going on in this book, but it keeps you drawn in from the very beginning. It takes you back and forth in time from Anna's school days to the present. We learn about all of Anna's troubles. We also learn about Jack and his life since he and Anna split up. It's hard to tell you more without giving away too much, so you will just have to go and give it a read!

I couldn't get enough of Alice Feeney's audiobook version of His and Hers. This is a tense murder mystery told by 3 narrators: him, her, and an anonymous killer.

The story begins with a murder in a sleepy town outside London. But, one murder turns into two, and the race is on to discover how a long ago group of childhood girl friends might be connected to the present horrors.

I loved every reveal as I learned how the characters were connected to one another. I found that I didn't want to stop listening; just one more chapter!

I do have two negatives. First, a heads up: there is one scene that is especially disturbing. And secondly, the voice changer used by the anonymous killer in the audiobook was probably necessary but made me laugh every time; it disrupted the flow for me.

Thank you to Alice Feeney, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

A solid murder mystery told from three perspectives (the reporter, the cop, and the killer) that'll please fans of the genre. I can't say that this blew me away (and the reveal came too little, too late), but the final hour of listening was truly enjoyable.

This book was a wild ride and I truly did not guess that ending! I tried to guess the murderer throughout the whole book but I kept changing my mind with each scene. I was so engrossed in this book and was surprised at all of the twists and turns. The narration of this book was spectacular. I have tried listening to many fiction books before but I usually lose interest pretty fast and do not finish. However, the narration of this book was so great that it kept my full attention. I loved that it alternated between his and her perspectives.

His and Hers⭐️
There are two sides to every story. One of you is obviously lying.
Anna is a tv presenter and is asked to cover a murder in her hometown. Soon she isnt just covering the story but deep within it.
DCI Jack moved to the countryside to get away from the murder of everyday but when a victim comes up being someone he knew, he withholds that information so he wont be kept off the case but something isnt right about the investigation.
But then Jack is accused of murdering his sister and he needs to figure out who would benefit from him behind bars before its too late.

“Please we need to call dad!
No we cant
Why not?
Because hes the one thats done this to me.”
Dang. She draws you in and slams you into a wall, keeping your face burrowed in the book needing to figure it out.

We flip between Anna and Jack.
No is trustworthy.
Because we were told right off the batt that someone is lying.

I loved the narrators, they really brought the story to life!

Thank you to Netgally via McMillion Audio forsending me an ARC copy of His and Her byAlice Feeny. This is already available for your reading pleasure.

The narration shifts between His, Here, and another dark and mysterious narrator. As the story unfolds More details are uncovered telling the dark history that surrounds a group of girls as their past and present collide in disaster.
I absolutely loved every aspect of this book and highly recommend it!!

* I received an advanced reader’s copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

DCI Jack Andrews is sent to the scene where the body of a woman has been found . It turns out to be a woman he knows well. If Jack were to disclose the nature of his relationship with the victim, he knows that he will become the main suspect. He knows he has to find the real killer before anyone else, including his pretty, eager young police officer that is under his wing,

Anna Andrews has spent the last two years in her dream job as the news presenter for the BBC midday news. But that all changed when her predecessor returns to take her chair. Anna is sent out to cover a body found in Blackdown, her childhood hometown. She discovers she knows the victim. She also knows the investigating officer, DCI Jack Andrews, But she won't let that get in the way of reporting her way back into her midday presenting chair.

As the body count rises and more intriguing information is revealed, we hear the voices of Jack and Anna through alternating chapters of "His" and "Hers. " But we also hear the voice of the killer. Each time the reader thinks the mystery is solved, a new question arises causing doubt.

The readers are excellent in this audiobook. I believe they truly added to the tension and suspense of the writing,. In fact, I think I liked it better than I would if I were simply reading the book. The ending took me by such surprise that I actually thought I didn't quite hear it correctly. But I did, and it was delightful! In the end there are three side to every story - His, Hers and the truth.

My thanks to NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to listen to my first audiobook from their new selection.

🎧 BOOK REVIEW 🎧

“There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, his and hers”

When a woman is murdered in her old hometown, Anna Andrews is sent to cover the story. DCI Jack Harper questions why she’s really there until he comes under question himself.

This audio was done in three parts. Jack Harper, Anna Andrews, and the distorted voice of the killer confusing you with every turn. I think this book was made for audio and I can’t imagine having to read the physical copy instead of hearing the brilliantly creepy killer.

This thriller did keep me guessing (which is what I’m always looking for in a thriller) and I often thought I had the end figured out until the next chapter.

I didn’t read any reviews prior and I wish I had as I might not have read the book if so. TW: sexual assault, abusive relationship, animal abuse. These things went a little far for me which is why I didn’t appreciate the book as much as I wanted to. I like dark themes but these were a lot all together.

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.25

Thank you to @macmillanaudio and @netgalley for the free ALC for my review. Sorry it’s late! 🙈

Disturbingly dark and twisted - just the way I like my thrillers. Just when you think you've figured it out - guess what - you haven't! With characters you love to hate (and there are some vile ones!) and everyone a potential suspect this book is gripping and incredibly hard to put down.

The audiobook was great - the unknown narrator has their voice distorted, and it is jarring and so creepy. Many thanks to Netgalley for the ARC, I love that you do audiobooks now. They are quickly becoming my favourite medium.

Channeling my inner Stefon from Saturday Night Live’s weekend update: This summer’s hottest thriller is HIS & HERS. Author Alice Feeney is back with an all-new novel of suspense that asks the question, how far can a psychological thriller go before it becomes horror? This book has everything: a serial killer, rape, animal torture, Dexter-like murder scenes, infant death, and so much more.

The audiobook also opens with a creepy manipulated voice, which initially made me wonder if something was wrong with my download. It also made me ask myself if I could make it through eight hours with that narration. Turns out that narrator is only one of three, and blessed be the casting gods that made Richard Armitage one of the others.

While the who of the whodunnit didn’t turn out to be much of a surprise for me, there were enough surprises in this dark and twisty story to keep me on my toes. This is a thrilling listen once you know what you’re in for.

Alice Feeney is back with another suspenseful thriller that I couldn't put down! This one is about a murder of a reporter, and it's told from the perspectives of a man and a woman who both potentially have motives to want this woman dead. It seemed straightforward at first, but then the story started taking turns that I didn't see coming, and I was hooked!

I love hearing thrillers on audio because it just adds another level of entertainment to it and transports me into the story. The narrators for this were excellent, although there was a third point of view - the killer's - and the audio for narrator for that was kind of distorted (on purpose) but that did make it harder for me to understand the killer's chapters. Other than that, I loved the audio!

When Anna is asked to cover a murder in a village she grew up in, she is reluctant to go. Once there, she finds herself at the heart of the investigation since the victim turns out to be her childhood friend. DCI Jack Harper is investigating the murder when things get a little more complicated. He also knows the victim, intimately. Having left that little bit of information out, he’s beginning to realize that he’s becoming a suspect in his own investigation. Alternating between Jack’s and Anna’s points of view, we are drawn into this complex and bizarre mystery. “There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, His & Hers. Which means someone is always lying.”

I absolutely loved this book!!! The unreliable narrators, the unlikable characters and the way this story unfolded. There were so many twists and turns, you didn’t know who to believe. Highly recommend! I got this one on audio and it was absolutely amazing! But I’ll also be getting a physical copy for myself, it’s just that good.

His & Hers is the second book I’ve read by Alice Feeney, and it’s definitely a thriller that’s more to my tastes! I love a good mystery that presents multiple sides, keeping you on your toes to pick up on those subtle clues, not to mention the story also closes out on one hell of a fantastic twist. However, reader discretion is advised if you’re sensitive to certain topics, as this one also contains a lot of graphic depiction of unsettling themes throughout.

As for the novel’s story and plot structure, it might be a bit of a gimmick but I gave it credit for its cleverness and I thought it worked. “His” chapters are told from the perspective of police detective Jack Harper, an experienced and jaded old hand on the force who thought nothing could surprise him anymore—until his latest case that brings him to Blackdown, a quiet and peaceful English village upended by the brutal murder of a local woman. Meanwhile, chapters labeled “Hers” are told from the point-of-view of Anna Andrews, an ambitious reporter who recently lost a cushy news anchor position to return to her former job as a station correspondent. Along with her cameraman, she is called to Blackdown to cover the shocking story of the murdered woman.

From here on out, the surprises start coming at you in rapid fire. Blackdown turns out to be a significant place for Anna and Jack, as they both grew up and used to live there. The two also find out they know the murdered woman, identified as Anna’s childhood friend Rachel Hopkins, whom Jack also had been seeing recently for casual romantic dalliances. If his connection with the victim gets out, Jack knows how bad it will look, even without someone seemingly trying to plant evidence to frame him as the prime suspect. And the final surprise? Anna and Jack used to be married, but they divorced soon after the devastating death of their child which caused their relationship to fall apart. Now the two of them are thrust together again by the murder of Rachel, the situation made even more painful and difficult by the shared memories between them. But pretty soon, that awkwardness is replaced by sheer terror as a second victim is found, another woman who used to be part of Anna’s close circle of high school friends. Through a third perspective, we get to see through the eyes of the mysterious killer, who is constantly watching, plotting, and may be going after Anna next.

The author makes it no secret here that she is actively playing a game with the reader, trying to deceive and obfuscate, and I loved every moment. From the start, we are left wondering if we can trust either Jack or Anna because there are plenty of reasons given to doubt their narratives, with both having secrets to hide. Ironically, the only perspective that we can trust as the absolute truth is the killer’s, and their identify remains a mystery until the very end. In fact, the brilliant way their chapters are written does not rule them out from being literally anyone that you meet in the story—even our POV characters.

However, I also have to warn you, there is some seriously twisted, horribly sick shit in this book. Do not read if you are bothered by disturbing subjects such as animal cruelty, extreme bullying, traumatic loss of a child, sexual assault, and other such violent and unpleasant topics. This is a very dark thriller, especially in the sections that delve into Anna’s past. I’m talking the kind of stuff that makes you shake your head in disgust and wonder at the lack of humanity in some people.

As well, as with many thrillers, sometimes His & Hers can get a bit extreme and carried away with the shocks and surprises—unless, of course, that’s exactly what you signed up for. Feeney certainly isn’t the least bit shy or apologetic about throwing every kind of twist she can think of at us, which made this one a whiplash inducing read. But again, to an extent you must be willing to suspend your disbelief when it comes to the genre, so I’m not sure calling this one “over-the-top” is truly a criticism.

Ultimately, I found His & Hers very enjoyable and exactly what I wanted into a thriller, the kind that keeps you guessing until the very last moment. I also thought the book’s concept was pretty damn clever, and as difficult as it is to read at times because of its unsettling themes, I know I won’t be forgetting the story any time soon with the way it dug its claws into my heart.

Audiobook Comments: As a special bonus, I listened to the audiobook narrated by the one and only Richard Armitage alongside the equally talented Stephanie Racine, both of whom were perfect for their roles. I was especially thrilled with Armitage’s performance because I am a big fan of his work both on screen and in the audio recording booth, and his voice is especially well-suited for thrillers. I also enjoyed the voice changing/distortion effect used for the killer’s chapters, which helped to preserve the mystery. A great listen overall.

Listened on audiobook.

I liked this story and found it hard to decide which rating to give it. I feel like I missed something along the way and the story left me a bit confused. So I am a bit unsatisfied with the ending. I enjoyed the three-person POV. Loved how the author did the narration with the “killer.” For the most part liked the character development though a few characters in this story I felt lacked. You definitely need to pay attention to what is going on as there is quite a bit of back and forth in this story.

I love audiobooks and the narrators were wonderful. However, part of me wants to go back and actually read the story to see if I can figure out what I missed.

Told through the POV of “His” and “Hers”, the novel tells the story of Jack and Anna, a divorced couple. Jack is a detective and Anna is a news reporter, so they both arrive at the scene of a murder in the same town they grew up (and broke up) in.

I loved how fast-paced and creepy this one was. It started strong and immediately captured my attention but then slowly turned into your typical revenge plot driven book. The twist was wild and I didn’t see it coming, but my problem with it was that it was unbelievable and therefore I found myself rolling my eyes. Since there are not a lot of characters, it was easy to guess who was behind everything.

I liked this one but just couldn’t get invested in it and if you ask me about it a year from now, I’m unsure if I would remember the major plot points.
