This wasn't quite was I was expecting, perhaps I misread the blurb but I was expecting this to be more of a psychological thriller between a couple and the reader being fed lies/truth from both sides. Instead, it's more of a crime thriller with the story told from two opposing point of views of an estranged couple.

It's a good concept and the story moves along nicely. There are a few red herrings thrown in throughout, and the ending is rather ominous. I wasn't particularly keen on any of the characters however, and a few things just didn't really add up.

Overall, a decent read but best if you leave critical appraisal at the door and not think too much about a lot of the absurdity.

Wow loved this book and did not see the ending coming at all. I had in my mind that one of the girls was the murderer and then she was killed leading up to who I thought must have been the one. It must be a cutthroat business in tv and that comes across – women vying for superiority. Anna is the main character and is trying to get onto a newreaders slot and manages to do this. Her ex husband Jack is in the Police Force and when the murders start in the town where she grew up they are forced together through circumstances have divorced in tragic circumstances. They are tetchy with each other but eventually come to terms with having to deal with each other and their sadness at the loss of their child. Jack does not trust Anna and feels she is keeping secrets. Priya, Jack’s sidekick in the Police, does not trust either of them and goes out of her way to implicate either of them on the evidence which does not work and she becomes difficult to work with. I loved the characters and felt all 5 teenage friends could have been the one who committed the crimes which shows how well the book was written. Cannot praise this book enough – thank you Netgalley as always for great reads

This is the second novel I have read by Alice Feeney and I thoroughly enjoyed it. ‘His and Hers’ was a brilliant read and written, as expected, from two viewpoints although, at times, it is not clear who him and her really are.

The story begins with the murder of a woman in a small village, Blackdown. Newsreader Anna Andrews is sent to cover the case and her husband, DCI Jack Harper is leading the investigation. It is a woman they both knew from school days. This is where they both used to live and where they grew up. It is clear from the beginning that there are lies and deceit from all those involved.

Everyone is flawed with secrets to keep and the author ensures that there is enough underlying doubt that anybody could be responsible for the murders. All the characters are realistically portrayed and the plot twists and turns all the way until the end.

Thank you to NetGally, HQ, General Fiction Adult and Alice Feeney for my ARC in return for my honest review.

Great read and highly recommended.

When a woman is murdered in Blackdown village, newsreader Anna Andrews is reluctant to cover the case. Anna’s ex-husband, DCI Jack Harper, is suspicious of her involvement, until he becomes a suspect in his own murder investigation. Someone is lying, and some secrets are worth killing to keep.

'His and Hers' is a thrill a minute read! Feeney lures us into a false sense of security, the beginning is fairly slow but still intense and I could tell Feeney was building up the tension. What I did not anticipate were how many twists and red herrings Feeney would throw in along the way! I did not see the ending coming at all and I love it when an author catches me unawares.

Feeney writes this from the perspective of her and him, this is a really intriguing way of writing as the reader works out who her and him could be, I loved the style and it added another layer of intrigue to the read. I should warn you this book is gruesome and there are scenes that some may find uncomfortable. This aside, I adored the plot, it reminded me of M J Arlidge's works in a way. I was completely taken in by this read, addicted to the dark goings on and in love with Feeney's delicious, devilish ways of writing an enthralling read.

Anna and Jack are two wonderful characters as well. They are likeable but Feeney throws in a sufficient amount of doubt to make the reader question whether they are who they say they are or if they are hiding a multitude of secrets. They are flawed and vulnerable as well and I simply loved following them as they negotiate their way through the crimes they find themselves faced with.

'His and Hers' is a twisting, shocking and riveting read and another stellar read from Feeney.

Thank you to NetGalley and HQ for an advance copy.

Wow, this gripped me right from the start and didn’t let go until I had finished. There are so many twists, turns and little hooks to keep you reading it really makes for a fascinating read.
We are alternating between ‘His’ voice, who is Jack a DCI in a sleepy town where hardly any crime ever happens. Until one day there is a murder, and he is thrown headfirst into the investigation. Does he know more than he is letting on, though?
Then we have ‘Her’ voice; Anna is a news reporter with lots of troubling attributes. She has a drinking problem, has just lost her dream job and a dark past. She finds herself covering the news of the murder, and again she seems to know more than she should.
The whole way through you think you are being told who has done the murders, but I’m not sure if this was a formatting issue with the ARC copy that I had or was intentional? So when the end came, I was thrown entirely, but the author still has some tricks up her sleeve and keeps surprising us and shocking us right up until the very last sentence.
This was brilliantly written and moved at a fast pace to keep you wanting to turn those pages. I’d checked my review for her last book ‘I Know Who You Are’ and it seems that this is her speciality as I felt the same after that one that I do after this.
She is undoubtedly a talented writer, and I really must find time to go back and read her first book.

Oh my god!!! I’ve just finished this book with my jaw on the ground. I’ve never seen so many perfectly executed plot twists in my life!! This book will have you suspecting anyone and everyone and has a great way of making each character look like both a victim and killer. Wow, I read this within 12 hours and couldn’t wait to complete the last 25% so I stayed up until 4:30. So worth it, loved this one! First book I’ve read by this author but I’ll definitely be looking at more.

Good solid thriller with a few guesses along the way. I enjoyed this, not too heavy going.

Thanks to NetGalley, publisher and author for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this one. It had me hooked throughout.
The plot was well written and well thought out, with lots of interesting twists. The setting was unexpected but added to the plot overall.
The characters were easily understood and all too human, ranging from endearing and engaging to unlikeable and irritating.
Everything about this book worked together to give it a little extra something that made it stand out. A great read

I really enjoyed this book! A great story line that kept me hooked and excellent main characters. I would highly recommend this book.

Overall this was a well developed story with interesting characters and well written, not an edge of seat thriller for me but a good read throughout.

Not sure I will read more from this author but I have no hesitation in recommending this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Impulse K.R's for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

His and hers is a fast-paced, super twisty and suspenseful thriller, told from two perspectives (his and hers obviously). It is full of secrets and constant reveals, and if there's such thing as too many twists, then this is certainly the case. There's not many characters and over the course of the book every one of them comes under suspicion and can possibly be the killer. I enjoyed reading this book but thinking back, the story is rather ridiculous and far-fetched, aimed at shocking the reader with yet another twist.

His and Hers
Author: Alice Feeney
Publishers:HQ
Publication Date 28/5/20

A gripping, at times shocking, read. Took me a few chapters to get the storyline straight but then it became addictive. Plenty of twists and a shock ending. A solid 4 1/2 ⭐️ read. Highly recommended.

I’d like to thank the author, publisher and netgalley for providing me with this advance digital copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

This was a really fun engaging domestic thriller but it was also pretty dark too

This domestic thriller, follows a Woman, Anna and her ex husband, Jack. When a body is found in the local woods, Jack is suspicious of Anna's involvement but it isn't long until he becomes a suspect too

I really liked the writing style of this book, it was really easy to read. I thought the book was very gripping.

It started off quite slow but as new storylines are added, it became quite a complex but engaging thriller.

I would add this thriller is incredibly dark. There is quite a lot of triggering subject matter, more than I thought there would be.

Overall, I really enjoyed this thriller more than I thought I would. Highly recommend

TW: rape, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, murder, suicide, violence and animal abuse

This is a real page turner with lots of twists and turns. The novel alternates two points of view and it is hard to guess which of the two is telling the truth. A well written suspenseful thriller. My thanks to NetGalley the author and the publisher for allowing me to read an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Good twisty story told from different points of view. BBC reporter and Detective Inspector who were previously married link up when a spate of murders take place that are a little bit too close to home.

Just finished reading this, and in reality I struggled a little bit. It’s a really good story but does jump a little bit and can be slightly confusing.
The end was a great twist but felt a bit rushed.
I did read a netgalley edition and it wasn’t great to read on the Kindle.

If you are a fan of thrillers like me you will thoroughly enjoy this book! Although some bits were like gone girl, I would have never guessed the ending! First one read by this author, looking forward to reading more!

His and Hers is the excellent third novel by Alice Feeney and it just might be her best yet! If you haven't yet read a book by this author, you are doing yourself a disservice. Feeney's thrillers mess with her readers heads and always bring an unpredictable plot to the party.

Detective Chief Inspector Jack Harper is investigating a murder in Blackdown Village when he recognizes the victim. He has to keep this to himself or he'll become a suspect in his own case.

Anna Andrews is a newsreader on BBC brought in to report on the case that occurred in her childhood hometown of Blackdown. The victim is someone she knows. And soon enough, there will be another.

Jack and Anna used to be married. Who is telling the truth?

This is one twisty thriller. Readers will be unable to put this one down until they have it all figured out. Very strong writing. Highly recommended to readers who enjoy a solid thriller. This is one not to be missed!

This is Alice Feeney’s third novel and her best yet. It’s a real roller coaster of twists and turns that keep you gripped from page one. The story alternates between the points of view of Anna Andrews and DCI Jack Harper. Anna Andrews has been a newsreader at the BBC but is sent back to being a reporter when the woman who she covering for returns from maternity leave suddenly after two years and two babies. Anna is immediately offered an assignment to cover a murder in Blackdown, a quintessential English village in Surrey, where she spent her childhood and her mother still lives. After Anna’s father left them things were tough for Anna and her mother and Anna had to leave her private school and go to the local state school which wasn’t a happy time for Anna. Anna moved to London as soon as she could and has hardly been back since as there are too many painful memories in Blackdown.

We soon find that the DCI leading the case is her ex-husband, Jack. They split up a couple of years earlier following the death of their young daughter and the strains this tragedy brought to the marriage.

As the story alternates between the two viewpoints it is hard to guess if either or both are telling the truth. I was somewhat confused as to how this could be for much of the book but slowly caught on towards the end. I liked the end and can recommended this book as well as the previous two that Alice Feeney has written. I look forward to more by her.

With thanks to NetGalley and HQ for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Twisty turny thriller that had me shocked on several occasions.

Well written and a good concept with the two sides.

Read if you like a good suspenseful thriller.
