Good, enjoyable story. “Hers” seems to be riddled with psychological issues – some for good reason, some just there. The issues do play into a good “who dun it” which made it fun to play along in an effort to solve. “His” is supposed to be a cop. But he is a rather poor example of one. The only purpose his being a cop serves is to give him a reason to be in the story at all. He does not think or act like a cop and does no investigating. For an armchair detective “His” seems to make a slew of amateur mistakes that no 20-year veteran of the police would make. His blundering around did not add to the story’s enjoyability, although it did serve the plot. It could have been done less obviously with a non-police figure who knew someone on the force or had some hacking skills. The “His” character was a bit of a disappointment. The resolution of the mystery was not truly part of the story. Few clues were available to the reader, making reader omniscience useless.

The production of the audiobook was the reverse of the book itself. “His” narrator was excellent. The portrayal of “His” felt right for the situations in which “His” found himself. In this sense, the character was believable despite the plot issues. “Hers” on the other hand was less pleasant. The narrator sounded whiney and either over produced or under produced – almost as though no one paid attention to the sing-song whining of the delivery.

Thank you so much for this Audio Book!

SO, I have never listened to a fiction audio book before, only self help and other non-fiction. This was the perfect entry into audiobook fiction.

Seriously so good. I loved the voices, I loved the reading, I love the unreliable narrating and I LOVED the twist.

Alice Feeney does it again! This book was so interesting and kept me guessing until the end and I NEVER GUESSED correctly. Again, she creates perfectly flawed unreliable narrators and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Great summer, or anytime, read. Highly recommended.

“Besides, lies told often enough can start to sound true”, said His
“There are so many things I never tell people about myself. Too many. I have my reasons”, said Her.

I wonder, sometimes lie can be so protective, deceptive, and addictive? When people lie, there are two sides- either to show, or to conceal.

This story unravels on two main dialogues and the subtle monologue coming from the voice of the murderer. There are His, Her and the Killer. The killer’s narration was the confusion in the whole story which Feeney cleverly instilled. A well-known stereotype that piques the interest and frowns upon when overuse. The story begins with someone lies or all of them were only telling a certain part.

His-Jack is a criminal investigator who is not a fit role model for society despite his honorable job. Years of divorce, the tragic death of his child, and the daily violence from his job have exhausted his confidence. He lived with his sister and a niece. The sibling relationship wasn’t a pleasant one either but amicable to live along.

Her- Anna Andrews is living in the spotlight as a news correspondent in London. She appeared confident and sharp-minded woman but beneath, she constantly struggles with her pain, her dark past, and trauma. Liquor is what she relied on a painkiller.

The story was a masterpiece of a maze. I had so many guessing as the story slowly unfolds. I thought I had it figured out, aha, this person must be the murderer, only to find at the end, I was wrong. Feeney skillfully showed bits of a clue for the readers, leaving baits for the catch, concealing a portion to keep the readers’ sidetrack and second guess those they trust. It’s amazing writing that has wrought the suspense. Ostentatiously grotesque illustration of the murder scene can be a little off-putting. Flashbacks from Anna’s younger past, that leaves haunting feelings can linger long in one’s mind.

It’s been an adventurous read with lots of suspicions. Enthralling, gross at some point, and the off-the-wall ending leaves you agape. Go ahead! Read the book and feel it for yourself.

There are 2 sides to every story. Sometimes maybe 3.

Anna is an alcoholic new presenter, in her dream job while the woman normally in the role is on maternity leave. When the lady comes back they forget to mention it to Anna and it makes the situation extremely awkward. On top of if all today is Anna's birthday and no one has remembered. She called her mother to hear a friendly voice and with her dementia she also forgot Anna's birthday.

A body of a woman is found and Jack is called to investigate the murder. To his surprise he knows the victim very well and was quite possibly the last person to see the woman alive. Anna it back into her old role reporting and is sent back to Blackdown to report on the murder. Their reunion wasn't kind, Jack and Anna were once happily married.

Another woman dies and Anna and Jack start to piece the clues together, some of those clues pointing to them both being suspects. There is no trust and things start getting complicated when another body is found.

It flicks back and forth from the present to the past, developing the deeply twisted story line. Narrated from His view (Jack's), Her view (Anna's) and the murderer's point of view. I didn't see it coming!

This was my first Audio book. Thank you so much NetGalley & Alice Feeney for giving me the opportunity to listen to this fantastic novel,

Wow!!!!! Just wow! Listened to this audiobook as a free ARC from NetGalley. Loved using the new NetGalley app.

Feeney has written a psychological thriller that had me asking #whodunit al the way through. Did I guess the killer at some point in the novel? Yes. Why? Because the author has written the story so well that every character is suspect at some point in the novel.

The story is written from three points of view; his, hers, and the killer. I highly recommend the audiobook as it adds an element of suspense and scare factor.

Anna Andrews is a news correspondent who is down an out since she just lost her anchor job when Cat Jones returns unexpectedly from maternity leave. The his point of comes from Jack who is a detective from Blackdown. The killer point of view is high on the creep factor especially on the audiobook that uses a voice changer. Eek!

The novel begins with a murder that Jack is called to investigate and finds it is a woman whom he has been having an affair with (only known to him and reader). Anna is also at the scene reporting hoping this story will bring her back to the anchor desk. Jack and Anna have a history.

I hesitate to say more for fear of revealing too much of the plot. The story has flashbacks to Anna’s high school years and connections to the investigation in Blackdown.

Content warnings for readers sensitive to suicide, animal abuse, sexual abuse.

I promise this is a thriller that has you guessing until the very end. 5 stars This is my first Alice Feeney and I am definitely now a fan.

Mean girls 2.0. This book had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. I am usually pretty good at guessing who the killer is and I was completely wrong with this one. We follow Anna, Jack, and the Killer's narrative through the book. Alice Feeney makes each person we meet in the story just as capable as all of the others as being the murderer. With so many twists and turns, Alice Feeney crafts a very nail biting novel. I listened to the Audio version-which made it really easy to follow. I admit that I picked this book because of Richard Armitiage being one of the voice actors, and I was not disappointed-Stephanie Racine holds her own and does an amazing job playing Anna. This was definitely worth the read/listen. I'm not typically a suspense book reader, but I did enjoy this one.

4/5 ⭐️
I got a arc from Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.
Sooo I wasn’t quite sure about this at first, but it turned out really good. There’s 3 povs, his, hers and the killer. And the killers methods are definitely messed up. Anna’s flashbacks of high school and everything that happend give the book a even depth.

A psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat! Ambitious Anna Andrews has risked it
all to finally land the job of her dreams. She will stop at nothing to keep her career in tact but when she is asked to cover the story of a murder in her hometown she is reluctant. She crosses paths with the investigator working the case. Jack Harper, who omits the fact that he knew the young woman that was murdered. Anna and Jack find themselves in the center of the murder investigation that they're covering. 
The story is shared in Anna and Jack's points of view. A complex, fast paced story with a twist the reader won't see coming. Definitely recommend!  Thank you for allowing me to review NetGalley

Wow wow wowwww!!!!

I always recommend "The Kind Worth Killing" to people when I want to give a good thriller book recommendation and this one is getting added to that list.

This was my first Alice Feeney book and I am now a complete fan. This book kept me wanting more at every turn. It had my full attention and I am so happy I went into it knowing almost nothing about it. (I am a "Spoiler Queen" and I am always super eager to get more info on the book but DO NOT DO IT!!!)

I truly don't want to say anything else for fear of giving something away by accident. I will say two things though:
- There are some themes that may be upsetting to some readers (such as sexual abuse and animal abuse). Proceed with caution.
- I found the "Hidden Voice" of the killer a little grating on the audiobook but I promise it pays off. I was truly guessing until the very end. The payoff is so worth it and I was glad to not know anything about the killer.

Thank you to NetGalley, Macmillan Audio, Flatiron Books, and Alice Feeney for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, this was quite the thrilling and suspenseful story. When a woman is murdered, Anna Andrews, a news journalist that has finally been working in her dream job, is asked to cover the story. She is being replaced at the desk by Cat Jones, a new and upcoming star, so has time available. The murder took place in her home village of Blackdown, and she knows the woman, it was a school friend. Shortly after Anna arrives in Blackdown another woman is murdered, another old friend. The detective assigned to the case is Anna's ex-husband, Jack, and the brother to one of the victims.

The story is told in three POVs, Anna, Jack and the killer. Because of the relationships between wrothe victims and Anna, we learn about their history and some of the not so nice things that happen in school. There are five girls in a picture, Anna being one of them, that is left behind with an X crossing out the face of the victim. Is Anna going to be the next one? Who is the fifth girl and what does she have to do with this case? Is Jack involved in the murders? So many questions and as the information unfolds, I am sure I have it all figured out. Oh, how wrong I was. I couldn't stop listening to this book, I wanted to find out who the killer was and if Anna would be the next victim. The author does an amazing job of tying all the loose ends together with one final amazing twist that had me loving this ending. If you love thrillers, then this is the book for you. One warning, there is some violence against animals described in this story.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine. What an amazing job they did with this story. The voices were full of expression and intonation. The pacing was right on and added to the creepy feel of the story. The killer's voice send chills up my spine. Definitely narrators I will listen to again.

This was my first audiobook from Netgalley and I'm so glad I was able to listen to it as Alice Feeney's novel and it's narration (by Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine) were both excellent (and Netgalley's new app worked fine).

As suggested from the title we are given alternating points of view. 'Hers' belongs to Anna Andrews, a BBC news presenter recently replaced by her predecessor who has returned from maternity leave and 'His' DCI Jack Harper who left the Met in London to work in the quiet town of Blackdown. But there is also a third point of view, that of a murderer who has distorted their voice. None of them are very likeable and they all are hiding something.

When a woman is found murdered in the woods of Blackdown, Jack is in charge of the investigation. He doesn't tell anyone he knew the woman. Neither does Anna who sent to cover the story for the BBC (after her demotion from newsreader to reporter). Blackdown is the place where both Anna and Jack grew up and secrets from Anna's past may just have come back to haunt her.

This was a totally addictive audiobook. It's impossible to know who can be trusted and who is guilty. The pacing in the novel was perfect and switching between narrators raised the tension as the plot twisted and turned. The story became quite dark as Anna recalled what happened to her during her schooldays in Blackdown (also in a scene where some cats were harmed) and the woods themselves, where much of the action takes place, are suitably dark and brooding. The revelation of the identity of the distorted voice belonging to the murderer was a complete surprise to me and I enjoyed the way the novel wrapped up.

Highly recommended.
Wow, I have just finished this book, my first audiobook from NetGalley. It was brilliant. Both the book and the narration had me progressively more and more glued to the story as I got increasingly involved in events. This was quite an achievement considering the new NetGalley app that I was listening on kept switching itself off every ten minutes or so and had to be manually turned on again. For a book of 10 hours and 39 minutes, this represents switching it back on over 60 times! I sincerely hope this gets corrected before I listen to my next book from NetGalley Shelf.

Anna is a news correspondent who has risen through the ranks of reporters to the job of reading the lunch time news bulletin on the BBC. It's job she loves and she puts her heart and soul into it, hiding away from a much less happy personal life.
Her ex-husband, DCI Jack Harper, is called to investigate a murder in sleepy Blackdown and Anna becomes involved when her dream job unexpectedly goes back to its previous incumbent and Anna finds herself back as a reporter.

The narrative follows the interactions between this estranged couple, while simultaneously twisting and turning around the mystery they are both trying to unravel. And twisting and turning it certainly does to perfection, until we end up suspecting everyone and no-one seems 100% innocent..

As an audiobook we were treated to a male narrator, the wonderful Richard Armitage, to narrate Jack's voice and Stephanie Racine, who did and excellent job as Anna. There is also a distorted voice representing the killer.

All in all I highly recommend this book as an audio and I'm definitely going to go back and investigate the author's earlier work.

History and trust are very unique beasts that can haunt people in very different ways. Feeney carved out a haunting tale that was impossible to put down and leaves you questioning everyone with every twist of the narration. Told from three points of view this tale is one that is dark and shroud in suspicion and mystery over who-dun-it!

I listened to this on audiobook and it was riveting and at times enhanced the chill factor. A solid psychological thriller for all those that are fans of the genre!

Guys, you will definitely not guess the killer in this one! This story flips back and forth between three POVs: the killer, a detective and a news reporter. I don't want to give too many details but boy is there a seriously tangled web of crazy in this one. I loved that the killer was hell-bent on revenge and boy was it gratifying when you found out why! Unlike other buzzy thrillers these days, all of the elements of the story were very realistic.

This was my first listen using Netgalley's new audiobook shelf, and while usually I gravitate towards non-fiction and memoirs on audio, I thought I'd try this for a change. The narrators were fantastic and there were times where I didn't want to stop listening and get back to real life. It was also my first Alice Feeney book but it certainly won't be my last!

Thanks to Netgalley and MacMillan audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC!!


This story was pretty enthralling, addicting, and disturbing. There are definite trigger warnings for this one: manipulation, sexual abuse, animal abuse, bullying, and death of a child. The 3 POVS in this one intertwined into a very interesting read. The teen flashbacks of Annas backstory were cringeworthy (especially that birthday scene 🙈). The audiobook was great with the creepy killers voice that was disguised. I loved how twisted most of this story and characters were. The very ending threw me for a loop as well. Totally didn’t call that one!! The way everything came together was like 😳🤯😮 which is why I’ve rated this one so high.

So all in all it is a great read yet I wouldn’t recommend this to everyone, just to a select few that I think would be okay with the disturbing characters/scenes. Lol.

Holy smokes! I did not see the end in this coming. I loved the three perspectives and the constant shadow of doubt cast on all characters. This is definitely one to go back and see if I can pick up the threads on.

I would rank this 4.5 out of 5. Really strong- I feel like there were some lulls in the pacing that were a hair too long perhaps- especially in building at the beginning. I loved the flashbacks and I think they were used well.

I did feel like the audio quality was a little off on the NetGalley app and seemed very echoey at higher speeds and losing words entirely at some speeds- not anything against the book but definitely was a concern.

I would love to read another by this author and I hope that a future release comes soon!

I have never finished an audiobook so fast in my life! When a murder occurs in a sleepy town, characters reunite to discover that while they may have tried to forget the past, the past has not forgotten them. With an intriguing cast of characters, it soon becomes clear that all have secrets, motive, and are deeply in danger. This is a story where one doesn’t want to say too much about the synopsis, I would prefer to just hand you a copy!

There is nothing I enjoy more than when a thriller keeps me guessing until the very end. That is exactly what happened with His & Hers! When I had to pause my audiobook, I was always thinking about the plot and clues in the back of my mind. As flashbacks occurred and secrets were revealed, I would constantly update my guess of who the killer was. Feeney does a fantastic job of sprinkling in clues and red herrings, which all have equal potential and are coated with intrigue. I really enjoyed her style of writing, this is the type of thriller that makes you think and frequently reassess what information has been revealed. His & Hers will have you double-checking if your doors are locked!

His & Hers is currently my favorite audiobook that I’ve listened to thus far in 2020. The audiobook performance was very high quality. I thought both narrators excelled at creating a spellbinding and creepy atmosphere. In particular, the performance for the voice of the killer was bone-chilling. I actually found the audiobook performance to be more compelling and gripping than simply reading the book! His & Hers releases July 28, 2020. Thank you to Alice Feeney, Macmillan Audio, and Netgalley for a free audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for an ARC of His & Hers.

What are your secrets worth? How far will you go to keep them? And if you’re a liar, how do you know who to trust?

A woman has been murdered and DCI Jack Harper is sent to investigate. BBC reporter Anna Andrews is sent to cover the story. Both know the victim, both know each other. Both know more than they are letting on.

His & Hers is a story told in alternating voices, first Jack’s, then Anna’s. I listened to the amazing audiobook version, narrated to perfection by Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine. But the audiobook provides a third voice, one that could never be the same in the print version, one that absolutely makes the book: the bone-chilling, mechanically distorted voice of the killer.

I’ve been reading for 30 years and mysteries, thrillers, and suspense are some of my favorite, most read genres. It’s hard to stump me at this point. But I was honestly not sure who the killer was until the very end of this book. At some point, I suspected almost every character. I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning because I had to know whodunit. And that’s about the best praise anyone can give a mystery/thriller.

I give His & Hers 4 ½ stars. ½ a star is taken off for some crude language and animal cruelty. Put this on your TBR list; there are other thrillers getting more buzz this summer, but this is the genuine article.

If you’re looking for a Thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this book is for you. As the title implies, it is told from two points of view - His being Detective Chief Inspector Jack Harper, and Hers being his ex-wife Anna Andrews a TV journalist. The story is also told from a Then and Now time frames.
Jack and Anna are each investigating the murder of a woman in a muddy, forested location in Blackdown - a town in which both grew up in. The town is a quiet one and one not familiar with murder cases. The woman murdered is known to both Jack and Anna. Anna was befriended by Rachel in school, while Jack has very recently had a sexual relationship with her - a piece of information he isn’t about to disclose to anyone. As the investigation progresses, both Anna and Jack begin to experience unusual events in their day to day lives. Anna sees things appearing in her bedroom that weren’t there when she went to sleep. Jack notices mud on his boots in his car which had been clean. In flashes from the past, Anna’s life as a teenager in a new school is slowly revealed. The result is a twisty, tale of horror which has the reader unable to decipher what, if anything, is the truth.
This book is absolutely engaging and I could not put it down. As with many thrillers, the plot kept me guessing whodunnit, but as each chapter unfolded the list of suspects only increased. The book flowed well, and the climax and conclusion were satisfying. I did, however, find the addition of animal cruelty in the book to be unnecessary, and unpleasant.
I listened to the audiobook edition of the book, and the narrators, Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine give stellar performances. In my opinion, the voices of the narrators added a personal element to this story and made the characters more relatable. Their speech was articulate and pleasant to listen to. The addition of the voice modulator increased the creepy factor ten-fold and was an excellent addition to this book.
I highly recommend this audiobook for those readers who love a great thriller.
