I don't want to spoil even one tiny bit of this book, but I will say that it was absolutely enthralling. From the first chapter I was sucked into the tangled web that intwined Anna Andrews and Jack Harper. The twist and turns were behind every corner and even when you thought you knew the truth you were hit with the even more inconceivable facts. I listened to this as an audio book and I couldn't stop listening! The narration was incredibly engaging. The different nuances of the different characters, no matter who was speaking, was absolutely riveting. If you have the chance to pick this up as an audio book I would highly recommend it! #netgalley #hisandhers
This review is currently posted on my blog.

Excellent suspense Very twisted, full of intrigue and doubt. Written in a simple way but with a complicated, confusing plot that makes the reader doubt who the person behind the deaths really is. It is developed to a good compas giving to the end doubts and the surprise of who is really the killer. Well written, well narrated. Thanks netgalley for giving me the opportunity of my first audiobook which I enjoyed and I finished in one day. All opinions are strictly mine.

OH MY GOODNESS!
I have been giving out many 5 star reviews lately but His & Hers was SO good!
This audiobook from @libro.fm was fantastic! There are two sides to every story His and hers, yours and mine...Alice Feeney captivates you from the beginning that you just want to keep listening.
We listen to Jack and Anna talk back and forth and then the killer. The fact that the killers voice is creepy as hell and auto-tuned made this even more eerie, but it made me love it even more.
People start showing up dead, then you find out just how all of these victims are linked to one another, the story gets more and more addicting and jaw dropping each chapter.
Every chapter I was like I think this person is the killer, no wait this person, no wait?! 🤔 I legit had no idea until the very end who the killer was because I was convinced it could’ve been anyone.
This is definitely an excellent thriller for 2020. But a few trigger warnings- It’s a bit graphic at times, animal abuse and sexual abuse of minors.
Thank you #netgalley and @flatironbooks for an ARC audiobook for an honest review!

His & Hers is the third book I’ve read by Alice Feeney, and in my opinion, by far the best. I listened to the audiobook, and I could not stop listening. I believe it is a 10 hour book and I literally listened straight through to the end. I’m amazed at this book has not gotten more attention.
When the book begins, I had to do a double take because of the voice coming out. That is quickly explained as we go right into the story. Anna is working the on air desk for a midday BBC broadcast. She began when her predecessor went out on maternity leave and didn’t come back. Suddenly, the new mom returns and Anna is out of her job. She’s put back on the correspondence desk and is not happy about it. Kat, the new mom, suggest she covers a murder that just occurred in a small town not too far from their location. It turns out that this is where Anna grew up. She does not want to return, not only because of the memories, but because her ex-husband, Jack, lives there now and he is a police detective. Her mother, who she hasn’t seen in quite a while also still lives there.
Regardless, she goes and along with her is a camera crew, including Richard who she’s previously slept with years ago. actually they are quite a few characters sleeping with people they should not be.
There are two narrators, Jack Indiana, or His & Hers, and a third narrator whose voice is disguised. These characters are involved in a major twisted story. Each time you turn around there is a new twist and it all seems to go back to when Anna was in school. Every time I thought I had The mystery solved, I was so wrong. I considered every character a viable suspect at some point. The ending may be a bit far-fetched for some, but I thought it was fitting. This is a definite must-read if you enjoy suspense, thriller, mystery type books.
Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced audiobook arc in return for my honest opinion.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my first audiobook arc!
I love thrillers and this... well this was absolutely wild! I kept thinking I knew who the killer was for me to then only change my mind again 50 pages later!
The narrators did a great job and I loved how the chapters of the actual killer were done using a voice changer, that was really unique and not something I’ve come across before.
This book had a lot of elements I really like; morally grey characters, a is he isn’t he corrupt cop and lots of twists. The back story of each character and their possible motives was really well thought out and it had a nice flow to it.
A thoroughly good read

Firstly, thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to listen to an advance copy of this audiobook. I did listen in the NetGalley shelf app, and I did experience some issues with the audio. It would freeze every few chapters, and I would have to close the app out and play again. It did pick up where I left off. Now, onto my review of this excellent book.
Holy smokes! The twists in this I did not see coming. Anna Andrews is a covering presenter on the BBC News. She is covering on a woman out on maternity leave, but is quickly delegated back to correspondent once her coworker returns to work. This results in Anna covering the murder scene of a woman she went to school with. The police detective covering this murder also has a history the victim. Feeney delves slowly into the lives of Jack and Anna. Anna is not exactly a likable character, but the reader is slowly given back story into Anna's life growing up. As more bodies pile up and Anna is somehow connected to each scene, Anna goes from reporter to possible suspect.
I could not stop listening to this book. The narrators, Richard Armitage and Stepanie Racine, do an excellent job giving a voice to these characters. I could be biased as I absolutely love British accents, but they each gave a lot of feeling (confusion, sadness, fear, etc.) to the characters. And let's not forget the ending!! The twists abound in this novel, and while I did have a few questions over aspects that I appear feel rushed, overall it is a solid novel. I highly recommend for a quick read/listen.

This is my first audio book from NetGalley Shelf. Twenty years ago I listened to an audio book, in my truck, and then listened to the nonfiction, How Not to Diet, recently so I'm a very novice audiobook listener. I had some difficulty with the app because it didn't start with the first chapter and then skipped chapters. I tried to go back and listen to anything I missed but the glitch made for a choppy listening experience. For this reason, I would have very much preferred reading the book but thus far have not been able to get my hands on the digital version.
Still, I certainly got the gist of things and enjoyed the story. The book is chock full of unlikeable characters and almost every one of them could be a red herring for the murderer, until they weren't anymore...not telling why though. We have three narrators and nobody is reliable whether because they outright lie or because the truth is hard to face. One narrator is "her", Anna Andrews, a newsreader/reporter, another is "him", Jack Harper, Anna's detective ex-husband, and the third narrator is the murderer. In the audio version, the murderer's voice is distorted so we don't know if it is a male or female, leaving us not knowing if the murderer is "him", "her", or anyone else.
The book starts right before the first murder and then things happen fast, with bodies piling up. Anna is sent to report on the murder/murders and Jack is the lead investigator and quickly also a suspect in the murders. Is Jack guilty or is someone setting him up? We just don't know because we can't be sure who is telling us the truth and who is lying to us, as the book progresses. I might go back and read the printed version of the book at some time since I think I'd bet a better idea of things by reading the book in order (rather than getting the audio chapters out of order, as happened to me with my first use of this new app).
Warning - animal abuse
Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for this ARC.

THIS THRILLER!!!!! What a perfectly creepy audiobook to listen to--I can't imagine how well this one will fly in print but it is fantastic on audio. Excellent narration by Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine makes for one compulsively readable book. I found myself trying to find extra household chores and taking longer walks just so I could keep listening.
This is the story of an ex-husband and wife who are both tracking the same set of crimes for different reasons. She, a network news reporter, and he, a cop, are both suspicious of each other's close involvement with the victims as the bodies pile up. Add in a creepy third narrator (a modified voice of the killer), and this one will have you guessing all the way to the end. Red herrings abound, and just when you think you've got this one figured out, Feeney knocks you out with another punch. It isn't until the VERY end that you actually find out what happens.
If I had one gripe it would be that the story felt a touch too long. The denouement was too lengthy for me, but I understand the author's reasons for including it. I also think it missed the final perspectives from one character, but again, these gripes are just minor. All in all a great thriller that would be perfect to bust you out of a reading rut. PICK.

I originally read this book which certainly took some getting used to. On seeing the audiobook I was interested to see if it felt different. It was better! Exactly the same story but by using two narrators (male and female) it makes the story so much clear. I can certainly understand the authors perception by listening to the audiobook.
The story flicks between narration of him then her. The story is centred around Jack and his ex wife Anna. Jack is a detective and Anna a journalist for the BBC. What re connects them is a series of murders in the place they grew up. And they are both connected to the victims.
The book will have you constantly guessing over who is the guilty party.. Lots of twists and turns and a fantastic ending

His and hers is full of suspense,edge of your seat content that just has you wanting to read on and on until you finish!! This follows Anne a news reporter who wants to solve the case of the Murder that has happened in this usually quiet British town and Detective Jack harper who is the leader of the murder case. These two people are linked together but how... you will have to find out for yourselves 😆.
It’s definitely a guessing game throughout with so many twist and turns and full of suspense.
It was such an amazing book that I recommend so much, and it was one of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long!!!
The audiobook was such a great route to go and I loved both narrators voices and they suited the Story so well.
4.5/5 stars

This was my first audiobook and I. AM. HOOKED. I have seen many raving reviews for Alice Feeney's other novels and a few great reviews for this novel from people lucky enough to get their hands on a copy early. When I saw this was a "listen now" on NetGalley's new app, I immediately downloaded and started listening on my drive home. I have no criticisms for this book at all. I loved the multiple POV's- his, hers, & the killer's. I think the quality of the readers and their voices were perfect. But mostly, I loved how Feeney laid out the book. She had small twists set up from the beginning of the book, such as how the characters knew each other. Well done thrillers introduce the killer early, keep them relevant, and still make it shocking when you find out they are the killer, and this novel did just that. It takes talent to not allow the reader to suspect who the murderer is, and then still have the book wrap up neatly in a tiny bow while the reader shakes his head. This will definitely be a novel I recommend to many and one I will ruminate over.
I am starting Feeney's "Sometimes I Lie" next. I am now a fan of hers AND audiobooks!

I’m not sure where to even begin. As a thriller this was quite a ride. Twists & turns that were shocking, pleasing and disturbing. The beauty of this book is the slow release of information adding so many layers and enough red herrings to keep the reader guessing & engaged. A few surprises I saw coming, but the big reveal was OFF THE RAILS, BAT SHIT CRAZY. Credit to author Alice Feeney, as it did have enough plausibility that I was stunned, but impressed with her ingenuity.
I wasn’t crazy about all the violence, gore and brutality, but it explains the reason why the murders took place. I think it’s best going into this book with as little information as possible.
It took me a bit to get into the narration. While I instantly loved the voice of Anna, I had difficulty understanding the heavy British accent presented by Richard Armitage. I do think the audio narration added to the intensity and suspense and would easily recommend.
Big thanks to NetGalley, Macmillan Audio and author Alice Feeney for providing me with an Audio copy for review. All opinions are my own.

Loved this book it blew me away! I read it in one sitting and the real plot twist, and it is only revealed in the last chapter. Extremely well written, it left my head spinning as I jumped between suspicions of each character being the culprit. If you’re considering reading “his and hers” then I would highly recommend you try it - you won’t be disappointed - you’ll be pulled in from the first page.

This novel is so good, twisty and dark. My head is spinning and I don't know what to say about it. It's amazing and we'll written.
When you thought that you know who is the serial killer, the author shock you that you are totally wrong.
This is the first novel to me by Alice but will not be the last.

I was able to both listen and read His & Hers by Alice Feeney thanks to the generosity of Macmillan Audio, NetGalley, and Flatiron Books. I’m really grateful for this because I listen to audiobooks during the day and I read at night. I had a hard time turning His & Hers off so being able to transition over to a DRC and continue my fascination with this thriller was much appreciated!
There are three narrators in this story; Anna Andrews, her ex-husband, DCI Jack Harper and the killer themselves who uses a voice modulator so we are unable to ascertain their gender or anything else about them. Anna is a BBC reporter investigating a murder of a woman in the countryside village of Blackdown where she and Jack grew up, also where Jack now resides and works as a DCI. Things get a bit hairy when it turns out they both knew the victim and each had a fairly dodgy history with her. The story alternates timelines but does so in a way that gives insight in to the personal history of the characters involved. As more murders occur with Anna and Jack tied to the victims, it’s a race to find the killer before they strike again. One thing is certain, nobody can be trusted.
Fast paced with strong affecting characters and a twisty plot, His & Hers is a compelling read from start to finish. The complexity of the story adds to its allure and had me suspicious of everyone. Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine are perfect as narrators of Jack and Anna, the pacing is perfect and their voices a delight to listen to. The voice modulation of the killer is perfectly creepy and sent chills down my spine! Another fabulous story by Alice Feeney!

After last year’s disaster that was I Know Who You Are, I was a bit hesitant to choose this one to listen & review for NetGalley. I’m so glad I went for it though because this one blew my mind 🤯 I suggest going into this story as blind as possible. There are 3 POV’s : His, Hers, and the Killer’s (audio for the killer adds to the story with the use of a voice scrambler app in order to hide their identity). It’s so cleverly plotted from beginning to end. Narration is performed by heavy hitters, Richard Armitage & Stephanie Racine and they completely nailed it 🙌🏼 I cannot recommend this audiobook enough! It’s such a great example of how the audio format can elevate your experience with a particular story. Five star performance + five star story = Five overall stars for 𝐇𝐢𝐬 & 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐬 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a WILD audiobook to listen to and I have to give the producers credit for figuring out how to record it!
First, the plot. It is FABULOUS. A twisty, engrossing thriller with surprises at every turn! As we all know, multiple narrator, unlikable character, “unreliable narrator” thrillers are all the rage right now. I’ve read so many of them lately but few have been executed as well as His & Hers.
This deliciously twisty thriller is narrated partly by heroine Anna, a TV anchor/reporter, partly by her ex-husband Jack, a detective, and partly by the killer, who may or may not be one of these two characters. I absolutely loved the way the plot unfolded and revealed new characters. In the beginning you did not know who the characters were or their relationships to eachother, and the eventual reveals of these things were surprising and fun. The plot is so well-executed and fun to read. I enjoyed every moment of this book.
Like many thrillers of this type, a couple of the twists stretch credulity a little, but Feeney somehow manages to pull them off with carefully laid clues and great explanations of motive. You will be guessing whodunit throughout the book and the eventual answer and motive will be surprising and satisfying. Alice Feeney is masterful at manipulating the reader’s emotions, and I am here for it!
So the interesting thing about this audiobook is that it is narrated by "Him," "Her," and the killer. You don't know who the killer is until the end. So how does one execute this in an audiobook when a voice might give the killer away? This book came up with the innovative idea of giving the killer an electronically altered voice, like the electronic voice a kidnapper would use with a machine when making a ransom call. While this is a killer idea in theory, in practice I found the garbled voice a little jarring and tough to listen to. My brain struggled at times to comprehend the words and the electronic tone was a little bit like nails on a chalkboard to me. So regrettably though it was a good idea, it somewhat reduced my enjoyment of the audiobook. I am not really sure how else they could have done it. Maybe a totally different narrator? But then you would know the gender. I guess this will be a tough hurdle for future audiobooks with unrevealed murderers as narrators.
Having had the chance to read the physical book as well as listen to the audio, I have to say that I liked the reading experience better for this reason. I found the interruptions of the deep electronic voice a little jarring . Also, *minor audiobook spoiler* <spoiler> once the killer was revealed at the end, I think it would have been cooler to have the killer speaking in their own voice in the last chapter while they explained it all, rather than the electronic voice again.</spoiler> But, I still totally loved this book and its great plot and characters. Highly recommended as one of the better thrillers this year!

I was over the moon excited for the new audiobooks on NetGalley and this audiobook. I love Richard Armitage but sadly I was unable to listen to it because it would not download for me.

I enjoyed the audiobook. I liked having different voices for each character. As for the story, I really enjoyed it. It kept me guessing who it was.

Thank you so much for adding audiobooks! This is the best news ever.
Well what a way to start the exciting news with one of the best books I've read in 2020.
𝐆𝐨. 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐨. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬. 𝐁𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐝. It's so much better when you don't know a thing. I honestly had no idea what direction this would go in. Each chapter was literally like peeling back an onion (hate that analogy, but it's true). You dive deeper into a story with so many layers and depths that I didn't see coming.
If you were on the fence about 𝙸 𝙺𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚆𝚑𝚘 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝙰𝚛𝚎, give Alice a chance to redeem herself with this one. Because it's awesome! Two narrators, him and her (𝘺𝘢 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺?) made the story that much more intriguing!! And I loved the dual narrators. LOVED THEM. Thank you for having a speed faster than 2.0 BTW. They were both amazing and really made the story. (I loved the distorted voice as well because it gave the perfect illusion of not knowing if it was a man or woman. GENIUS!)
I think I loved this so much because I was waiting for this kind of story to be told. It was JUST SO GOOD. Read this 100%!!!!
