His & Hers is the third novel by British journalist and author, Alice Feeney. The audio version is narrated by Stephanie Racine and Richard Armitage. When DCI Jack Harper is called out to a murder in the woods near Blackdown, he’s shocked to realise the victim is a woman with whom he was intimate the previous evening. And he soon discovers several other items that make it clear that someone might be setting him up as the suspect in his own investigation.

Already stunned to have been casually demoted from her BBC TV newsreader position, Anna Andrews is even less impressed to be sent to Blackdown to cover possible murder case. Blackdown is the place she grew up, and she’d be happy never to return: too many unhappy memories, one of which involves the victim.

Jack is dismayed to see his ex-wife at the scene, not least because she’s with a BBC press photographer, but also because it stirs too many sad memories. He already has a challenging case to run, with a young, too-eager-to-please colleague, DS Pria Patel, who’s getting on his nerves, and pressure from higher-up to get a result.

With little more than a puzzling message on the victim’s nails, a strange item in the mouth and a boot-print, not much progress is made before, mere hours later, another victim is found. Jack isn’t at all sure that his small team is up to dealing with a serial killer. And it starts to look like Anna is personally involved…

The narrative is carried by three voices: mostly Jack and Anna, with occasional (in the audio, voice distorted) commentary by the murderer. If Jack’s part seems genuine and truthful, Anna’s feels less reliable, while the murderer’s parts are often quite cryptic. Overall, it is sufficiently ambiguous to throw suspicion on several characters.

Feeney is skilled at sowing the seeds of possibility. The slow disclosure of important information, connections and (sometimes) explosive secrets make this a pages turner. Red herrings, twists and distractions mislead and keep reader guessing and cycling through potential murder suspects right up to the thrilling climax. And beyond. Gripping British crime fiction.

This was soooo good. So many twists and turns...dual perspective...dual timeline. Every time I thought I knew what was going, I would be proven wrong right until the end.

Great narration and pace of the story.

Trigger warning for drug abuse, alcohol abuse, rape

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Another great thriller by Alice Feeney! I am grateful for the audiobook from NetGalley and Macmillan Audio. I was engaged from the start. Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine perform a fantastic narration of this twisted tale. The creepy distorted voice of the murderer added an eerie and sinister touch to this unsettling and veiled story. There were points in the book where I thought I definitely knew who the murderer was, only to be lead in another direction. The well crafted mystery kept me guessing until the blood-tingling conclusion. Definitely recommend!

I really enjoyed this title, intriguing, mystery, crime, just brilliant. I almost got to the end before catching on as to who the criminal was. Very good. Enjoyed that there was more than one narrator.

What is the actual hell! This book was crazy good. When you think you have it figured out think again. This book keeps you guessing right till the end. This should be thriller of the year!

The narrators were fabulous! I always enjoy an audiobook that uses more then one. Makes the book feel like a movie in your head.

I've been meaning to try one of Alice Feeney's books for a while now, and I thought that listening to the audiobook with the new Netgalley Shelf App feature would be the perfect way to kill two birds with one stone. The fact that the blurb of His & Hers intrigued me immediately and I've seen positive reviews popping up everywhere only made this decision easier to make... And I'm definitely glad I did choose the audiobook option, because I ended up having a fantastic time with this story and I think the audio only enhanced the experience for me. What a read!

It's true that I'm basically an audiobook newbie, but my experience with this story has convinced me I need to keep this option in mind for whenever the circumstances are right... Because I think the audio version only enhanced my experience with His & Hers. This book is narrated by Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine, and both do a fantastic job making the story come alive for me. Each tackles one of the POVs of the two main characters in play: "Him" with DCI Jack Harper and "Her" with News Correspondent Anna Andrews. On top of these two point of views, we also have the mystery voice and POV to contend with. I think especially this POV made the audiobook stand out for me and the voice alteration gave the story that mysterious vibe. I think that both their voices fitted the characters very well, and the pace and flow of the story throughout was spot on for me. They also changed their voices slightly whenever different characters say something the dialogues, which made it a lot easier to keep them apart. I can highly recommend the audiobook experience to anyone who is interested in reading this story!

As for His & Hers itself: I'm definitely an instant fan of Alice Feeney now. I was fully intrigued as soon as I started listening to this story, and the two different POVs complement each other perfectly. I particularly liked the mystery voice and POV in between the "Him" and "Her" chapters, as it will make you wonder who is lying and who might be behind the murders... Both the building up of suspense and the development and placement of the plot twists is simply spot on, and this story most definitely managed to mislead me until the very end. Intense, suspenseful, shocking, intriguing and very well written indeed.

His & Hers will give you a psychological thriller and serial killer thriller in one, and the story deals with psychological elements as well as with plenty of gruesome scenes and heavy topics. Trigger warnings are in place for topics such as grooming, abuse, rape, mental health, addiction and violence... This story will go dark, twisted and dangerous, but the ride is absolutely fantastic and I loved how everything is explained in the end. Trust me, His & Hers will have more than one shocking surprise for you in store, and you will think you have it all figured out so many times that your mind is left reeling by the time you reach the final page and finally discover the truth. The plot is very cleverly written and I always love it when a story is able to mislead me this much, as it doesn't happen all that often anymore... But His & Hers did the job, and how!

I'm still not sure if I actually like the main characters, but I loved learning more about them and slowly figuring out how they all fit together as well as what secrets they are hiding. The story warns you in the beginning that at least one of them is lying, and you will be on your edge the whole time as you keep being suspicious about everything you read. Who is behind it all? Why are they doing it? What does it have to do with the past? Or the present for that matter? Who is lying and who is telling the truth? Or are they all hinding something? There are so many questions, and trust me, you will be having a fantastic time trying to find answers for them all. If you enjoy a suspenseful, intense and well written thriller, His & Hers is without doubt an excellent choice.

Did you love A.J. Finn's "Woman in the Window"? Then you're going to enjoy Alice Feeney's "His & Hers." If I was reading it, it would be a real page turner. There are a lot of plot twists, and you're probably never going to figure them all out before they are revealed. None of it struck me as unbelievable; I was riveted.

The main characters are "Him," "Her" and "The Murderer."

She is a drinker, so it's can be hard to trust how reliable her perception of events is as they unfold. He's a police detective who is way too emotionally invested in the murders he's investigating.

There were different narrators for each role, which was helpful for distinguishing who was speaking at what time. My only complaint was that the Murderer's voice was purposefully distorted, which is hard to listen to. Luckily, these sections are short, but the information given in them helps drive the plot.

The chapters went back and forth between "Him" and "Her" with an occasional interjection by "The Murderer."

I definitely recommend the book, and I think you can't go wrong either grabbing the audiobook or a hard copy. It's one of the better thrillers that I've read this year.

I have a serious book hangover! This was a 5 star read for me.
-
"There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, His & Hers. Which means someone is always lying"

I'd like to start off by saying that I listened to this book and would highly recommend that you do the same. The voice acting is done so well, each character has it's own narrator which adds so much depth to what's happening in the book! This book opens up with a distorted [very creepy] voice of our supposed killer. The killer has their own chapters throughout the book, we get to see how and why they've killed.

This was so fast-paced, we follow DCI Jack Harper and BBC broadcaster Anna Andrews who is brought back to the town of Blackdown to cover the murder of her childhood friend. I loved how both of their stories were connected (Jack also knew the victim), it was creative to see that once upon a time the two of them had a past.

His & Hers was so twisty! It honestly kept me guessing, the killer had dropped a hint and I was certain that I had things figured out. Let's just say that as I read on, my suspect list grew. At one point the person I had coined the killer gets caught, and then I realized that the audio still had 2 hours left...needless to say all of my theories were wrong! When the true killer is revealed, I was SHOCKED. I think my jaw was open for a few moments, as it was someone who I would have never guessed.

Thank you to NetGalley and Publisher for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I received a copy of this audiobook from Netgalley. This is the third book that I have read by Alice Feeney, and it did not disappoint. I give this book 4 stars. This was a fast paced book that always kept me guessing who the mystery voice was, right until the end. I would definitely recommend this book.

Have you checked out the new Netgalley Shelf app? because I'm in love and there are some AMAZING Read Now titles right now including this amazing audiobook by Alice Feeney that I just listened to thanks to Macmillan Audio.

The creepy details of the murders kept me intrigued and horrified at the same time - like something terrible you just can't help but watch.

I was thoroughly engaged in this audiobook, as someone who struggles with how long they take to listen to, I was using every excuse I could to be able to finish this book! Fantastic characters, the narration was INCREDIBLE - the voice changer made it even more perfect for me, I was thrilled to have chosen to listen to this book!

There were some incredible quotes throughout this title, it made me wish I had an in-hand copy as well to highlight the ones I loved most, especially from Anna’s innermost thoughts. That we’re all living a make-believe life, to keep what others see as something different than who we are made the details of the book that much better.

It will surprise you, entertain you, at times gross you out, but always make you want to keep turning the pages - read it, as soon as possible! I’ll be sharing an in-depth review on its pub day next week - JULY 28th, preorder your copy now!

This was a great read. I've read a few from this author and we seemed to not meld well and I was hoping this one would be a difference.I think the difference was enjoying this one as an audio book. Amazing! There are 3 POV and 3 voices - Hers, His and a distorted voice of the bad guy. The three voices were so well done, I couldn't help but be completely swept up in the story.

I hung on every read word and felt my skin crawl every time the distorted bag guy's voice whispered in with a new chapter. I followed the story and I had no idea who was safe and who wasn't. This was so well done, so well written, that I was completely pulled in. If you can, try to enjoy this one as an audio book. It was great!

I actually really enjoyed this one! An ending I totally didn't see coming. There were quite a few jaw dropping moments! I highly recommend this book in audio, because the mystery killer's chapters are really creepy.

Narrators Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine were perfect for their characters. I really enjoyed their narrations.

I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

His & Hers is a twisty complex thriller that will keep you guessing until the end. I didn’t know who to trust throughout and found everyone had a possible motive. No one is really like able, but they’re believable albeit untrustworthy characters.

His & Hers is dark. There are trigger warnings for rape, animal cruelty, and just about anything else you can think of. It alternates between brutal murder and a horrific childhood.

I enjoyed having 3 narrators in the audiobook. The narration by the killer with a disguised voice was creepy and definitely added to the storyline.

Special thanks to Macmillan audio and Netgalley for this ALC.

BOOK REVIEW:
Title: His & Hers
Author: Alice Feeney
Publisher: Flatiron Books
Pub. Date: (US) 7-28-20
Rating: 5/5 Stars

Thank you so much to @dziurka27 for my giveaway copy of this book before the US publication date as well as thanks to the folks at Macmillan Audio for my Netgalley advanced audio version.

I have heard this all over Bookstagram, but I have to say that I agree this book is really cool in the audio version. I read at night but enjoy listening during the day. There are three voices in the book: his, hers, and the murderer. The voice of the murderer uses a voice distorter so you have no idea who it is and it sounds so creepy!

I absolutely loved this book and had a hard time putting it down. There are lots of twists and turns because the author doles out information a little bit at a time, and it leaves you constantly surprised with more “aha moments.” It also keeps your head spinning trying to figure out what direction it is going in and who the killer is. You think you know a character, but then you really don’t! About an hour before I finished it, I came up with five different guesses of the ending, and I was wrong about all of them. You won’t know who to trust in this book – beware and trust no one.

This book will not disappoint and I think it will be one of the best thrillers of the year. It also leaves you wondering if you ever really and truly know someone and who is keeping secrets from you . . .

Shes back!!!! Omg I loved this book!!! Thanks so much Macmillan Audio for providing this early copy. I was worried I would have to wait and listen. I remember reading Simetimes I Lie and being so blown away. I’m jumping for joy.

4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a crazy mysterious story! This was my second book by AF, and I really enjoyed her other one.
This was an audiobook and the narration was fantastic. Some of the best I’ve heard.
Nothing predictable about this one. It surprises at every turn. The narrative develops and unwinds unexpectedly. You won't be able to put the book down. It I highly recommend it.

Thank you NETGALLEY and the publisher for this audiobook ARC, in exchange for my honest review. ♥️

Make HIS & HERS yours!

HIS & HERS is fast-paced and suspenseful and impossible to put down. I listened to Alice Feeney's two earlier books and this book was definitely my favorite title.

I especially liked the book because it was told from the perspectives of three narrators......his, hers and the truth. All of the narrators did an outstanding job. There is a serial killer on the loose --- and author Alice Feeney challenges us to identify who that killer is. Everyone is a suspect and everyone has motives.

I always enjoy books with well-developed/compelling characters and endings that are impossible to guess....and HIS & HERS is that kind of book! I was sure that I knew what was going on until the very end, and I was wrong!! This book featured many twists and turns and its ending was brilliant.

The book did not earn 5 stars from me because I felt that the story could have been successfully told without including certain details about animal cruelty and sexual assault.

Overall, this book was a terrific read and very highly recommended.

His & Hers by Alice Feeney is such an incredible dark and gritty murder mystery.

Yours & Mine
Ours & Theirs
His & Hers
Which ALWAYS means someone is lying.

Anna & Jack are pretty miserable characters with pretty messed up lives but that only enhances the story. I don’t want to say much as I think you should go in completely blind as I did and enjoy this wild ride. If you’ve never listened to audiobooks or you’re an avid audiobook listener like me you will truly enjoy this audiobook. The narrations is great as well as the flow of this book. I highly recommend this format. This is the perfect audiobook. Multiple narrators. Everyone has motive and everyone is a suspect.

This book will have you up into the middle of the night with heart palpitations and everything.

Multiple trigger warnings: sexual assault, animal cruelty, bullying and grooming.

If you like unreliable, unlikeable narrators, small town with secrets and surrounded by the creepy woods this book is for you!!!

A special thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review. This book is set to publish July 28, 2020. Definitely put on your radar as this is going to be a highly talked about summer thriller! You won’t want to miss it!

If you're looking for a murder mystery/thriller that will keep you guessing until the final chapter this is the book for you. Told through three perspectives, his, her's, and the killer's, you never know what to actually believe. That fact made me want to keep going, and hear more. At times I thought I had figured it all out to just be confused again by the next chapter. I can honestly say I never saw that ending coming. As the final chapter began to play I couldn't help but exclaim "WHAT?" as the conclusion was revealed. This story does deal with a lot of heavy topics besides the obvious murder including; death of a child, alcoholism, drug use, sexual assault, mental manipulation, and animal cruelty, so be warned if any of those subjects are a no go for you.

The choice to use two different narrators was extremely effective, and the third distorted voice of the killer was excellent. At times that voice sounds female, and at other times sounds male so it adds to the confusion of who exactly this culprit could be. I would highly recommend picking up the audiobook format of this title. I believe I would not have enjoyed the story as much without listening to it. The narrators truly brought this story to life.

What a twisty story and an amazing audio performance! The narrators are fantastic, including a mysterious third voice revealed at the end.

I was all over the place trying to figure out who the murderer was and why. Even when I thought it was revealed and all but done, there was another twist! There are so many red herrings that will confuse you and have you changing your mind again and again. Everyone in the story has a motive, but who should you believe? The ending was great and answers all of your questions.
