Highly recommended.
Wow, I have just finished this book, my first audiobook from NetGalley. It was brilliant. Both the book and the narration had me progressively more and more glued to the story as I got increasingly involved in events. This was quite an achievement considering the new NetGalley app that I was listening on kept switching itself off every ten minutes or so and had to be manually turned on again. For a book of 10 hours and 39 minutes, this represents switching it back on over 60 times! I sincerely hope this gets corrected before I listen to my next book from NetGalley Shelf.

Anna is a news correspondent who has risen through the ranks of reporters to the job of reading the lunch time news bulletin on the BBC. It's job she loves and she puts her heart and soul into it, hiding away from a much less happy personal life.
Her ex-husband, DCI Jack Harper, is called to investigate a murder in sleepy Blackdown and Anna becomes involved when her dream job unexpectedly goes back to its previous incumbent and Anna finds herself back as a reporter.

The narrative follows the interactions between this estranged couple, while simultaneously twisting and turning around the mystery they are both trying to unravel. And twisting and turning it certainly does to perfection, until we end up suspecting everyone and no-one seems 100% innocent..

As an audiobook we were treated to a male narrator, the wonderful Richard Armitage, to narrate Jack's voice and Stephanie Racine, who did and excellent job as Anna. There is also a distorted voice representing the killer.

All in all I highly recommend this book as an audio and I'm definitely going to go back and investigate the author's earlier work.

History and trust are very unique beasts that can haunt people in very different ways. Feeney carved out a haunting tale that was impossible to put down and leaves you questioning everyone with every twist of the narration. Told from three points of view this tale is one that is dark and shroud in suspicion and mystery over who-dun-it!

I listened to this on audiobook and it was riveting and at times enhanced the chill factor. A solid psychological thriller for all those that are fans of the genre!

Guys, you will definitely not guess the killer in this one! This story flips back and forth between three POVs: the killer, a detective and a news reporter. I don't want to give too many details but boy is there a seriously tangled web of crazy in this one. I loved that the killer was hell-bent on revenge and boy was it gratifying when you found out why! Unlike other buzzy thrillers these days, all of the elements of the story were very realistic.

This was my first listen using Netgalley's new audiobook shelf, and while usually I gravitate towards non-fiction and memoirs on audio, I thought I'd try this for a change. The narrators were fantastic and there were times where I didn't want to stop listening and get back to real life. It was also my first Alice Feeney book but it certainly won't be my last!

Thanks to Netgalley and MacMillan audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC!!


This story was pretty enthralling, addicting, and disturbing. There are definite trigger warnings for this one: manipulation, sexual abuse, animal abuse, bullying, and death of a child. The 3 POVS in this one intertwined into a very interesting read. The teen flashbacks of Annas backstory were cringeworthy (especially that birthday scene 🙈). The audiobook was great with the creepy killers voice that was disguised. I loved how twisted most of this story and characters were. The very ending threw me for a loop as well. Totally didn’t call that one!! The way everything came together was like 😳🤯😮 which is why I’ve rated this one so high.

So all in all it is a great read yet I wouldn’t recommend this to everyone, just to a select few that I think would be okay with the disturbing characters/scenes. Lol.

Holy smokes! I did not see the end in this coming. I loved the three perspectives and the constant shadow of doubt cast on all characters. This is definitely one to go back and see if I can pick up the threads on.

I would rank this 4.5 out of 5. Really strong- I feel like there were some lulls in the pacing that were a hair too long perhaps- especially in building at the beginning. I loved the flashbacks and I think they were used well.

I did feel like the audio quality was a little off on the NetGalley app and seemed very echoey at higher speeds and losing words entirely at some speeds- not anything against the book but definitely was a concern.

I would love to read another by this author and I hope that a future release comes soon!

I have never finished an audiobook so fast in my life! When a murder occurs in a sleepy town, characters reunite to discover that while they may have tried to forget the past, the past has not forgotten them. With an intriguing cast of characters, it soon becomes clear that all have secrets, motive, and are deeply in danger. This is a story where one doesn’t want to say too much about the synopsis, I would prefer to just hand you a copy!

There is nothing I enjoy more than when a thriller keeps me guessing until the very end. That is exactly what happened with His & Hers! When I had to pause my audiobook, I was always thinking about the plot and clues in the back of my mind. As flashbacks occurred and secrets were revealed, I would constantly update my guess of who the killer was. Feeney does a fantastic job of sprinkling in clues and red herrings, which all have equal potential and are coated with intrigue. I really enjoyed her style of writing, this is the type of thriller that makes you think and frequently reassess what information has been revealed. His & Hers will have you double-checking if your doors are locked!

His & Hers is currently my favorite audiobook that I’ve listened to thus far in 2020. The audiobook performance was very high quality. I thought both narrators excelled at creating a spellbinding and creepy atmosphere. In particular, the performance for the voice of the killer was bone-chilling. I actually found the audiobook performance to be more compelling and gripping than simply reading the book! His & Hers releases July 28, 2020. Thank you to Alice Feeney, Macmillan Audio, and Netgalley for a free audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for an ARC of His & Hers.

What are your secrets worth? How far will you go to keep them? And if you’re a liar, how do you know who to trust?

A woman has been murdered and DCI Jack Harper is sent to investigate. BBC reporter Anna Andrews is sent to cover the story. Both know the victim, both know each other. Both know more than they are letting on.

His & Hers is a story told in alternating voices, first Jack’s, then Anna’s. I listened to the amazing audiobook version, narrated to perfection by Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine. But the audiobook provides a third voice, one that could never be the same in the print version, one that absolutely makes the book: the bone-chilling, mechanically distorted voice of the killer.

I’ve been reading for 30 years and mysteries, thrillers, and suspense are some of my favorite, most read genres. It’s hard to stump me at this point. But I was honestly not sure who the killer was until the very end of this book. At some point, I suspected almost every character. I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning because I had to know whodunit. And that’s about the best praise anyone can give a mystery/thriller.

I give His & Hers 4 ½ stars. ½ a star is taken off for some crude language and animal cruelty. Put this on your TBR list; there are other thrillers getting more buzz this summer, but this is the genuine article.

If you’re looking for a Thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this book is for you. As the title implies, it is told from two points of view - His being Detective Chief Inspector Jack Harper, and Hers being his ex-wife Anna Andrews a TV journalist. The story is also told from a Then and Now time frames.
Jack and Anna are each investigating the murder of a woman in a muddy, forested location in Blackdown - a town in which both grew up in. The town is a quiet one and one not familiar with murder cases. The woman murdered is known to both Jack and Anna. Anna was befriended by Rachel in school, while Jack has very recently had a sexual relationship with her - a piece of information he isn’t about to disclose to anyone. As the investigation progresses, both Anna and Jack begin to experience unusual events in their day to day lives. Anna sees things appearing in her bedroom that weren’t there when she went to sleep. Jack notices mud on his boots in his car which had been clean. In flashes from the past, Anna’s life as a teenager in a new school is slowly revealed. The result is a twisty, tale of horror which has the reader unable to decipher what, if anything, is the truth.
This book is absolutely engaging and I could not put it down. As with many thrillers, the plot kept me guessing whodunnit, but as each chapter unfolded the list of suspects only increased. The book flowed well, and the climax and conclusion were satisfying. I did, however, find the addition of animal cruelty in the book to be unnecessary, and unpleasant.
I listened to the audiobook edition of the book, and the narrators, Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine give stellar performances. In my opinion, the voices of the narrators added a personal element to this story and made the characters more relatable. Their speech was articulate and pleasant to listen to. The addition of the voice modulator increased the creepy factor ten-fold and was an excellent addition to this book.
I highly recommend this audiobook for those readers who love a great thriller.
Thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan audio for the ALC of this audiobook in exchange for the honest review provided here.

I am a huge fan of thrillers. I especially like to listen to them on audio. This is my first book by the author and I enjoyed it. The pacing was good and the twist and turns kept me intrigued throughout. The audio narrators were really good and a spooky third voice enhanced the creepy vibe.
The ending was good and unexpected but the reveal was like a huge info dump and not as well written as the rest of the book.
Not the best thriller I have read but I would recommend. Solid 3 stars

Even though I read His & Hers by Alice Feeney as an audiobook, I find myself describing it as a "page turner". The story takes place in Blackdown, an English Country village where BBC News Anchor, Anna Andrews grew up. The author describes Blackdown as the quaint sleepy typical English village that American tourists take pictures of. There begins a series of murders that District Chief Inspector (DCI) Jack Hopper is investigating and News Anchor Anna Andrews is following and reporting. The victims are all thirty-something women who shared a history as schoolgirls. The story is told in alternating chapters by Him, Her and the Truth. The Narrators, Richard Armatage and Stephanie Racine do a fantastic job of portraying all the characters. Whether they are speaking as accented characters, children or an elderly character, the voices are very believable. The voice of Truth is done with some kind of modulator/disguise. The narration was so perfect I found myself checking to make sure it wasn't a full cast recording. I was not able to figure out who the killer was until the very end. Even then, the Reader is left to decide who is telling the truth. Probably because it's been a Hamilton month, I found myself thinking, "Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?"
Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this intriguing mystery/thriller.in exchange for an honest review..

His & Hers is another twisty thriller by Alice Feeney. It had a bit of a slow start, but just as with her first novel, Sometimes I Lie, the twists and turns kept coming right up until the end.

The narrators on the audio edition were good, but I think this one I would have preferred to read rather than listen to.

Wow!!!!!! Just wow.....I just finished this beauty and it was all that and then some. I listened to it in one day. That’s just how good it was. Let’s just say the hype about this book is dead on. OK the beginning dragged a bit, but if you can get past that you are good to go. Throughout the book I had many different theories that kept me guessing right to the end. This was not only a great thriller but phenomenal. Alice Feeney knows how to pull you in, push you out and just when you think you’re about to drown she saves you. I like books that alternate between POV. In this case, it was told from his, hers and the murderer’s point of you. The information given was entwined with the present and the past. While killings were happening in the present it took us back to some history of these characters in the past. Thank you @netgalley @McMillan.audio and @alicewriterland for the advance listener copy in return for my honest review.

"There are at least two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, His & Hers."

Trigger warnings: Murder, death, mentions of suicide, abuse, rape, animal cruelty.

Anna Andrews, a BBC TV presenter, is sent to Blackdown, a small town where she used to live, to cover a murder that has happened there. DCI Jack Harper is investigating the murder. It all seems very simple, but there is more than meets the eye. Both of them know each other, as well as the victim. Blackdown has more secrets hiding below its surface, and no one is as they seem.

The narrators, Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine, did a fantastic job on this book. Their voices fit perfectly with the characters. And I quite enjoyed listening to them. The parts that were told by the murderer were the most interesting, and they were sprinkled all throughout the book. It was just too bad that I couldn't connect to any of it.

My biggest issue was with the story. It was very slow and I didn't care much about the mystery or the characters. And the last hour of the audiobook was like torture to me, just very boring. That's why I couldn't give the book more than two stars.

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan for providing me the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

His & Hers was one wild ride but I'm going to try and keep this short so I don't give anything away.
This book is full of red herrings meant to mislead you and well...they certainly served their purpose. Every time I thought I had it figured out I was proven wrong.
The book is told through three POVs. His - DCI Jack Harper, Hers- BBC presenter/reporter Anna Andrews and the third is that of the killer using a voice distorter. All unreliable and possible suspects.

The audiobook is narrated by Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine, both of whom did a fantastic job. They were perfect for Jack and Anna. I'm sure I would have still enjoyed this had I read a physical copy but I will admit that the narration is part of what kept me engaged.

If you're in the mood for an addictive and twisted psychological thriller that will keep you guessing, look no further!

I loved this audiobook! I thought the narration was awesome. There are three narrations: his, hers, and the murder's. The murderer uses a voice altering device and may or may not also be one of the other two. The "his" is detective Jack Harper who was once married to the "hers", Anna Anderson. Their relationship is complicated and tightly woven into murders that are occurring in their hometown.

I thought everything was all wrapped up in the end, but in all honesty felt that it was a bit implausible. I don't want to give anything away and while it seemed unrealistic, I was up until 1AM listening and had to know who the murderer was! So I am torn between a 4 and a 5 on this. Rouding it up to a 5 I think because I enjoyed the narrators and it was very suspenseful.

I used the new Net Galley app to listen to this book and there were some glitches with the first version where it was skipping chapters. This was super frustrating! But they provided a software update and it was a much better ex look experience . I'm glad I stuck with it.

Overall a 5 for the narration and a 4 for the book itself.

“There are at least two sides to every story: Yours and mine. Ours and theirs. His and hers. Which means someone is always lying.”

When a book has a quote like this in the beginning, you know it’s going to be good.

I'll say it, some books are just better on audio. This book got taken from 4.5 stars to beyond 5 stars with the narration. I love when books are written in multiple POVs.

I listened and read along with an e-copy from Netgalley and wow. Chills.

The story is told from the POV of a divorced couple, Anna and Jack. The story bounces between them in this small town and you never really know who to trust. Every freaking person is suspicious.

I love thrillers and crime podcasts but this book just kept throwing twists. I stayed up way too late finishing this one, you will too.

Having unreliable narration in a story is a risk but when it’s done right, it changes the game. Alice Feeny, slow clap for you.

I have never binged an audio book this quickly! This one goes on my list of best audio books! I loved the narrators and the story is compelling, addicting, and CRAZY! ⁣
⁣
I am so happy with the ending for this one. I love this wasn't predictable. I thought I had this figured out several times and had so many guesses and theories but was wrong on all of them! There are a couple small remaining questions and holes I have but did not detract from the story for me.⁣

Love love love the narrators on this book!!! They are absolutely perfect for this story and I found their voices so soothing.

I really enjoyed this book but due to netgalley's audio book app the book stopped every few mins and would jump from chapter to chapter and I would have to try and figure out where I was so I think may have missed some chapters but I'm keen to buy this in audible so I can re listen to it

Oh Wow!! This book was great! Absolutely not what I expected. Sometimes books that have multiple narrators and go back and forth in the store become confusing. Not this book. It was well written for all three POVs. I was kept guessing until the very end and still ended up so shocked with the twist. And let's just say one of the voices was so super creepy that I had to stop listening when I was home alone!

*received audiobook for free from netgalley for honest review* I really liked the voice distortion in the audiobook, I think it really adds a lot to it tbh, the story is interesting and I wouldn't mind rereading it too
