His and Hers is a novel narrated in turns by Anna Andrews, a news presenter and borderline alcoholic, and DCI Jack Harper, Anna's ex husband and the lead on a murder in a small town.

Anna is initially sent to report on the murder, but soon realises she knows the woman who was murdered, and that she may be involved. And Jack is initially excited to be dealing with a real crime for a change - until he realises the body is that of the woman he was sleeping with, and that he was the last one to see her alive...

I loved the dual narration, and the difference in perspectives between the two characters - it lent such a realism to both the characters and the story. There are more twists and turns that you could shake a stick it, and each time I thought I had it figured out, I was flummoxed by the next twist.

The novel is cleverly plotted and very engaging - I didn't want to stop reading once I'd started! I also loved that the characters were so well developed - both flawed and dysfunctional, but yet somehow I found myself rooting for them.

Alice Feeney has created yet another thrilling read with 'His and Hers', and I will definitely be recommending this one to my book club.

Thank you to Netgalley,who provided me with a free ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

His and Hers’ is a thoroughly entertaining read. A gratifyingly fast paced psychological thriller.

The ‘hers’ narrative relates to newsreader, Anna, and the ‘his’ the detective, Jack. That the narrative of these characters intersect at a murder scene may sound like a storyline that’s been done to death (pardon the pun!) but not so, we quickly learn that darker forces have brought these 2 together, and the murder that has United then is a little too close to home for them both!

Such a great story but struggling to say more without inadvertently dropping spoilers! Highly recommended though, easily 5 stars.

My thanks to Netgalley, author and publisher for an advance copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

Alice Feeney is, in my opinion, the QUEEN of twisty.  There is absolutely NO DOUBT in my mind that she creates the most twisted, dysfunctional, dark and disturbing characters and let's not even mention her skill of creating the most believable unreliable narrators EVER.

His and Hers is her latest standalone psychological thriller and if you haven't read her previous two Sometimes I Lie (my review here) and I Know Who You Are (my review here), then what the heck are you waiting for.. download them NOW as His and Hers isn't published until 28th May 2020.

This is a story told by the two main characters: Anna Andrews - a successful newsreader with a personal life in tatters, a drinking problem and troubled past she is determined to run from and DCI Jack Harper - a policeman who also has run away from his past and living in a town where nothing much happens until a body is found and he realises he could actually be the main suspect.

His and Hers is the tale of two sides to a story, the murder of a young woman, the newsreader sent to cover the story and the policeman determined to catch the killer and protect himself.  Alice Feeney cleverly overlaps the narrators own versions of the truth, weaving them together and slowly revealing the full story to the reader chapter by chapter.  I read so many psychological thrillers so you'd think I would be able to work it out.. uh uh... not this time.  His and Hers kept me guessing and changing my mind constantly and I was totally gripped throughout.  

Twisted, twisty and clever His and Hers is another cracking book from Alice Feeney and I highly recommend it.

I am a fan of Alice Feeney’s books and was really excited to get an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley and HQ. Thankfully I wasn’t disappointed.

As the saying goes there are two sides to every story which is the premise of this book, His and Hers, which means someone is always lying...

A body is found in Blackdown Villagw and DCI Harper is sent to investigate. It’s not long before his ex-wife Anna Andrews arrives to report live from the scene for BBC news. Jack starts to suspect that his wife is somehow involved until he suddenly realises he is being setup as a suspect in his own murder investigation.

This is a great book and when you’re reading it you get a real sense of impending doom as the story goes on. I have to say I didn’t like any of the characters in this book but that just goes to show how perfectly they were written as you really believe that anyone and everyone is guilty! The book is well paced with a number of well timed twists with a great ending.

This is the third novel I have read by this author and have enjoyed everyone of them.

His and Hers is a novel featuring two sides of a story,which means someone is lying.

Anna Andrews has finally got what she wants, the main TV presenter of the BBC’s lunchtime news. She has achieved it by putting work before friends, family, and her now ex-husband. So, when someone threatens to take her dream job away, she’ll do almost anything to keep it.

She is asked to cover a murder in the sleepy countryside village Blackdown, where she grew up but feels reluctant to go. The victim is found to be one of Anna's school friends and now she can't leave because she isn’t just covering the story, she’s at the centre of it.

DCI Jack Harper left London and never dreamt that he would end up investigating a murder in sleepy Blackdown. When Jack arrives at the murder scene he recognises the victim but decides not to tell anyone until he begins to realise he is a suspect in his own murder investigation.

This is a fast paced novel with the story been told from the his and hers viewpoints of Jack and Anna. One of them is lying and the twists and turns will keep you changing your minds throughout the book.

I would like to thank both Net Galley and HQ for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

This had me gripped. A perfect novel to get stuck into on a rainy weekend. The characters are well thought out and the plot flows along nicely.

A terrific read.
This is my second book of Alice Feeney after Sometimes I Lie and i must say that she's a superb author. She does a lot of work on plot and made a jaw dropping novel. As the name suggests, His & Hers is told from two POV's, His is DCI Jack Harper and Her is Anna Andrews, a BBC news presenter. Jack is involved in a crime investigation but soon himself becomes a suspect. When there are two sides of a story then someone is always lying.
Narration of the story is excellent as i expected from a Alice Feeney book and so are the characters.
Thanks to NetGalley and HQ for giving me an advance copy of this book.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy. As I was reading, I realized I wasn't able to get into her past books. I ended up skimming more than reading. I liked the alternate views. The ending was great! but overall, i skimmed more than I read.

Kill them all... I was hooked from the opening chapter of this book and couldn't put it down until I'd reached the end. His and Hers tells the story of Anna (journalist) and Jack (detective). Anna is portrayed as an intriguing, troubled character from the start. Someone who is keeping up appearances despite her alcohol problem. Jack is also an interesting character and it's clear both have a story to tell about the past. Then a woman turns up dead and their lives collide..

I thought the plot was brilliantly executed. I particularly liked the way the character dilemmas build up around the plot and as the story gets more twisty, the characters get more and more drawn in and the tension about what they have to face up to becomes almost unbearable to read. The threats of the plot are woven together in a really clever way and the characters are intimately connected with it. Meanwhile I was constantly questioning who might be the killer as a cast of suspects are lined up.

The ending took me by surprise - I didn't guess. I absolutely loved this book. Five stars and more.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. Wow what a read, this had be hooked right to the end. Great storyline characters etc, would highly recommend.

2.5 stars


Some people are going to love this.
Unfortunately I'm not one of them.
It suffered from too many twists in the story for my liking,so I almost had a "what now?" Going through my head the whole time.

Alice Feeney does it again! She draws you into the story with a superb start and then takes you on a jaw dropping journey until the end. In fact, I think my jaw fell open so many times it’s fixed in the gaping mouth position! I might have uttered the odd expletive as another shocker clobbers you! The story as the title implies is told from two perspectives. ‘His’ is DCI Jack Harper, head of MCT in Blackdown, Surrey a quintessential, sleepy and beautiful English town in the stockbroker belt. He’s a bit crumpled, not living his best life having retreated to Blackdown from the Met following a tragedy. ‘Her’ is Anna Andrews a temporary BBC news presenter filling in for Cat Jones who has been on maternity leave. Anna has plenty of secrets and there are several versions of ‘her’. When a Jane Doe is discovered stabbed multiple times in Blackdown Woods what follows is a tale of the unexpected as you would expect (!) from Alice Feeney.

The novel is well written and has a lot of excellent descriptions and metaphors of what it’s like inside His and Her heads. The plot is good and you think you have the truth sorted and then you realise you so haven’t as both perspectives are contradictory. It has more twists than a corkscrew and at times it’s so dark you can barely see a hand in front of your face. It’s mysterious, tense, creepy and spooky. The setting especially of Blackdown Woods adds an extra dimension of atmosphere as even the most benign woods at night can feel scary. There are revelations and shocking events to keep you wanting to read on and on. Although I did work out the big reveal it in no way spoils the enjoyment.

Overall, is a terrific read and highly recommended for fans of the genre.

Special thanks to NetGalley and HQ stories for the Arc.

I really enjoyed Alice Feeneys last 2 books so was excited to read this latest one, it did not disappoint, I was hooked straight away. Plenty of twists and turns and an ending that I did not see coming! Definitely worth a read.

I've loved the two previous books by Alice Feeney that I've read and this was no exception! The chapters alternate between Anna, a BBC reporter and Jack, a local policeman. Bodies start turning up in a small town and it becomes apparent that there is a link between them. Feeney is known for her unexpected twists and His and Hers certainly stays true to her style. I was genuinely gasping out loud as I was reading it. It's a very original plot and I thoroughly enjoyed it and raced through it in a day!
