4.5/5

Anna is a successful news anchor for the BBC but when Kat Jones returns from a two-year maternity leave, the news agency feels obligated to give Jones' her slot back, pushing Anna down the totem poll. Back in the field, Anna is sent to cover a murder that occurs in the quiet town of Blackdown.

The DC on the case, Jack Harper, is a little too connected to the murder victim for his liking. In fact, he slept with the woman last night. The crime scene becomes even more potentially dangerous for him when his tenacious ex-wife, Anna Andrews, shows up to cover the murder.

It becomes apparent that the murder in Blackdown is the work of a serial killer and at every step, Jack is looking more and more guilty.

Told from three different perspectives - Jack, Anna, and the killer - we gained different pieces of the story and learned a lot of the characters' histories. There were points in time where I was convinced that just about every character might be the killer.

The audio was fantastic. I loved the use of multiple narrators and the voice change machine for the killer. The narrators were easy to connect with and the level of theatrics was perfect.

All in all, this was a wild ride!! This book will surprise you and keep you on the edge of your seat. I absolutely recommend it!!

"click click, click click"

Holy Crap this book!! If you like unreliable narrators, books that you can’t put down and a book that keeps you guessing and guessing this book is for you! If you were a fan of Feeney’s book ‘Sometimes I Lie’ you will love this one I think this one is even better if that is possible!

Sometimes the past comes back to haunt you and it may be closer than you think! So many unreliable narrators in this one I can’t say too much because I can’t give anything away! But you need to order this book!

Narrators Richard Armitage & Stephanie Racine both did a really good job at telling their part of the story.
I gave ‘Sometimes I Lie’ 5 Stars so this one is 5 stars too I think this one might have been a tish bit better!

Thank you to the publisher Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for his early review copy

WOW WOW WOW. This book was addictive. It was a layered narrative, with writing that reminded me of Gillian Flynn. I was fascinated the entire way through. I listened to the audiobook version, and the narrators were fantastic!

From @flatiron_books: "There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, His & Hers. Which means someone is always lying.

When a woman is murdered in Blackdown, a quintessentially British village, newsreader Anna Andrews is reluctant to cover the case. Detective Jack Harper is suspicious of her involvement, until he becomes a suspect in his own murder investigation.

Someone isn’t telling the truth, and some secrets are worth killing to keep.

His & Hers is a twisty, smart, psychological thriller. A gripping tale of suspense, told by expertly-drawn narrators that will keep readers guessing until the very end."

Thank you to @netgalley, @macmillan.audio, and @alicewriterland for providing me with a copy of this title in exchange for my review. It will be released next TUESDAY! 😍 I'll put a reminder in my stories that day.

A good thriller that kept you guessing. It kept me guessing from the beginning to the end and the end was a totally shocked never considered that character has the killer never in my wildest dreams
The downside is the creepy narrator voice when that part arrived I cringed.
For my first Audiobook it was a good one.
Thank you NetGalley, MacMillian Audio and Alice Feeney for this free audio in exchange of an honest review.

I enjoyed this fast-paced and twisty audiobook. Without revealing details about how things shake out – I thought I was right, then thought I was wrong - I thought the misdirection using the three POV was well done. It turns out I was right in the end, but the author had me doubtful and confused towards the end of the book.

I liked the performances of both narrators in the audiobook and would recommend this to anyone who likes listening to mystery/thrillers.

Thanks for adding audiobooks!

This is my first audiobook (or any book) from NetGallery and it was a great way to start! I'll admit, I am typically not the biggest fan of audiobooks, so reviewing one was an unusual decision for me. I have been on a recent journey to try and find some audiobooks with more engaging narration in hopes that I will enjoy them more. I kept seeing this one pop up, so I figured I would give it a go. I have to say, it is definitely the best I have heard since I began listening to them! I absolutely loved the alternating POVs being read in three different voices and I think this is the reason I liked the experience so much. All the narrating was extremely well done and the story line was very interesting and engaging. I love a good thriller and find that even when a book is really well written, it is difficult to find something that has a twist that really wows the reader! I actually was given a spoiler from someone that made me believe the killer was someone it wasn't, so my experience may have been a little tainted midway through, but I was still surprised in the end. Although it slowed for me a bit at one point in the second half, I think it could just be that audiobooks always feel longer to me. I do think a lot of people won't see this one coming and there were a few other fun twists thrown in as well. I can't wait to read some more of this author's other works and definitely recommend checking this one out!

I’m so grateful to the author, publisher & NetGalley for this ARC! It’s just amazing!! There are some very creepy, sadistic characters with fast paced action. There is no lull in this one. Included are twists and turns that keep the reader intrigued and wondering just who is responsible. The end seems to a sweet all the questions, but then Sweeney throws a wrench in that shatters it all! NetGalley is now offering audiobooks ARCs, which is a dream come true for me, as they are my favorite! NetGalley also provided the audio version of this! I am over the moon excited for audiobook ARCs! This one is perfection. Narrators are just right! Must read!!

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for an audio ARC of this book! Release date - July 28, 2020

This book was so great! I really love Alice Feeney. Her books always deliver a twist that I never see coming. While I still think I liked Sometimes I Lie a little bit more, this one was still fantastic. She has a way of writing that you just never know who is quite trustworthy and who is telling the truth and what is really going on until the very end. Things were slowly revealed throughout this book in a way that made all the puzzle pieces fit together. This is the first book in a long time where the twist actually made me want to go back and reread certain parts knowing what I know at the end.

The audiobook deserves special mention as well. I absolutely love that NetGalley is doing audio now and this one was especially great. Both readers had pleasant voices that were easy to listen to. They also really put the emotion into the story, they weren't just reading, they were the characters. And then the addition of the disguised/distorted voice for the murderer was excellent, not only so that you wouldn't know who it was, but that disguised/distorted voice actually played a part in the storyline. It was so well done.

Just as a warning, there are some disturbing moments in this book so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, specifically rape, bullying, and animal abuse.

I am such a huge fan of Alice Feeney. This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and it did not disappoint. I can't wait to see what she writes next.

Omg. I’m just finishing His and Hers and now I have to reread the entire thing!! So weird and twisty (and not a little disturbing). Everything I love.

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.

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.
