Anna Andrews was living her dream of being a news anchor for the BBC. When her colleague returns from maternity leave, Anna is relegated to one the scene newscaster. Her first assignment is covering a murder in Blackdown.
DCI Jack Harper is called in to investigate a murder in his village of Blackdown and recognizes the victim. As the case progresses, Jack becomes a suspect.

A psychological thriller told in alternating chapters from the perspective of Anna, Jack and the killer. Richard Armitage did a fantastic job narrating Jack's side of the story. While the book kept me listening at every opportunity, I just found it hard to believe the twist at the end. Psychological thrillers that do not have a feasible plot are a deal breaker for me and parts of this book hit that wall.

A huge thank you to NetGalley for the complimentary audiobook!

What a great story! A page turner that kept me guessing throughout. The narration on this audiobook was great as each main character was read by a different narrator making it very easy to follow.

The body of a murdered woman turns up in Blackdown, a picturesque English village with a missing cat problem and some very creepy teenagers. Anna Andrews is a BBC newsreader who has just been replaced by the woman who used to have her job. Anna isn’t keen on going to Blackdown but she can’t really refuse when her boss sends her there to report on the murder. DCI Jack Harper is investigating the murder. He doesn’t reveal that he has been sleeping with the victim. Anna and Jack become much more involved in the case than they expected.

The story is told from the alternating points of view of Anna and Jack. Some chapters are also from the point of view of the killer. In the audiobook, that voice is distorted so it provides no clues to the killer’s identity. The plot kept surprising me with unexpected links between the characters. Every time I thought I knew who the killer was, my suspect turned up dead. I never did get it right. In addition to liking the plot, I also liked Anna and Jack who were prickly, complicated characters. I thought this book was fun. 4.5 stars

I received a free copy of the audio book from the publisher.

5 "Freaky Good" Stars!

I LOVED this audiobook!! The story is told from 3 perspectives....his, hers and an anonymous third person who isn't revealed until the end. Ms. Feeney has a talent for letting the reader unwrap a story gradually. She portions out little pieces of information as you need them. In His & Hers, the reader just needs to buckle up and enjoy the ride. I will say that when you think you have it all figured out, the plot will take another twist and you'll be left unsure of everything again. It's a very well-written psychological thriller with a carefully formulated plot. I'm not sharing any more details because the less you know going into this book, the better.

I will also say that the narration for this audio version was spot on perfect for the storyline. It made an already enjoyable book even better.
Thank you to NetGalley, MacMillan Audio and Ms. Feeney for the ARC of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

Let me start off by saying that I’ve never been a huge fan of audiobooks. I just love the way a book feels in your hands. I love coming up with my own ideas about what the characters sound like and etc. I requested the audiobook version from NetGalley because I’d heard it was fantastic to listen to.

I went into the book blind without having read a synopsis. Crazy, I know! I was excited to learn it was a thriller as I got into it. Thrillers are my jam. Right away I knew that I wasn’t going to love the characters. They kept secrets throughout the book, which was fun, but they just weren’t likable. It made it hard to root for anyone. I didn’t find the book or the narration to be quite as creepy as I heard everyone else say it was, but it did keep my attention. All thriller/mystery readers spend half the book coming up with theories of “who did it” and I was no different. I will say I was wrong and did not guess the ending. I had a little trouble buying in to the ending but it was exciting to have a fun twist you didn’t see coming. Overall, I really did enjoy this and I can definitely see myself picking up more audiobooks in the future!

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an ARC of this! It was a wild ride for sure!

My first from this author and I really enjoyed this one. Twisty and cunning. Every time I thought I’d nailed down the culprit I was wrong, very successful red herrings throughout. I read so much crime it’s rare to surprise me but this one did!! I thought the narrators did a great job. I’ll definitely be picking up more from this author.

His & Hers by Alice Feeney
Pub date 05/28/20

Okay so everyone that is a member of Netgalley knows that audio books are new, with their very own app. Called Netgalley Shelf.
This was my first book using the new app. And there seems to be a lot of bugs that need to be worked out. But I love audio books as much as I love my hardcovers. So I pushed forward.

His & Hers is a psychological thriller.
Anna Andrew's has the perfect job. It's her dream job then suddenly somebody is trying to take it away from her. What would you do to keep your dream job?
Jack, the ex husband is the DCI working a murder case that Anna is sent to cover as a News journalist. The story unfolds from here. There are many twist and turns and you suspect everyone.

" There are two sides to every story, yours & mine, ours & theirs, his & hers".

Many thanks to the publisher and to Netgalley for the free copy for an honest review. ⭐⭐⭐.5
3.5 rounded up to 4

* I received an advance edition of the audiobook from NetGalley. This is my unbiased review and all opinions are my own *

There's his version of the story, her version of the story, and the truth. A woman is murdered in a small town and a police detective and a reporter find themselves connected to the victim. They are both unreliable narrators for their own respective reasons. The murderer also chimes in, but their part of the story just adds to the reader's confusion.

I couldn't stop listening to this audiobook. Every new bit of information propels the story forward and adds more complexity to plot. This book kept me guessing until the very end. This book was suspenseful, full of twists and surprises, and every time you think you have it figured out, you end up second-guessing yourself.

I'm going to be thinking about this book for a while.

We all have a story to tell.
Everyone has a motive.
But what is the truth?

I am a fan of this author’s other books and I enjoy how she unfolds her stories and the characters that inhabit them.
This book was no different. I enjoyed the distinctly different narrators and how their experiences were relayed.

This was a who done it for me until the very end.
I will say this... I did feel like ending was unexpected but maybe not in the best way. It felt rushed, it felt unbelievable and almost like there was a story line running parallel but we never got to read it.
It was an interesting read and I would recommend it to my fellow domestic thriller fan friends!

His & Hers took a few minutes to grab my attention, but when it did, I held on all day listening to the story. In that regard, it accomplishes what I expect of a thriller. Feeney also managed to go beyond the standard expectations of a thriller, though. There were some solid reflective moments on human nature that resonate.

As far as whodunnit, I was guessing until the very end. Feeney did an excellent job making everyone seem equally likely throughout the entire story.

The narration was well-done. Sometimes I get bored quickly by an audiobook based on the narrator's pace or tone, but this wasn't a problem for me with His & Hers.

Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for the Advance Audio Listen. Wow what can I say! Loved it! Alice Feeney does it again. She grabs a hold of the reader and just does not let go. The narrators did a fabulous job narrating the story. They brought life to the book. They did a great job and kept me captivated until the end. Get ready for some wild twists and turns. Dark and sinister! Highly recommend! Looking forward to more books from this author..

I want to thank Netgalley, MacMillian Audiobooks, and Alice Feneey for giving me the opportunity to listen to a free audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

As per usual I wanted to read this book because Abby from @CrimebytheBook read it and as a loyal follower I read everything she reads :) When Netgalley gifted me a copy I was beyond excited. I read Alice's I Know Who You Are last year and I couldn't wait to dive into this one.

THE NARRATION: Sometimes you need an audiobook to accompany you on your commute to work, long runs, or household chores. If that's the case, then you need to listen to His &Hers. The narration of this book was like something I hadn't heard before. There are three narrators: HIS which is a male's voice, HERS which is a female's voice, and The Truth which is a distorted voice that tells ...well the truth of what happened. The three narrator's points of view keep you guessing as to who the killer is making this format terrifying and engaging. I was so addicted to the audiobook that I made my workout longer just so I could listen to the next chapters.

THE STORY: I love me a good revenge story and in His & Hers is just that. A thrilling, bat-shit crazy thriller about Anna Andrews a BBC newscaster and Jack Harper Detective Chief Inspector.

ANNA is given the opportunity to save her job as a newscaster by covering the murder of a woman. The setting of the murder? Anna's old stomping grounds in Blackdown in the UK. Now, there's a reason why Anna left this small town.... a terrible reason* and when she sees the woman who was murdered in the woods she realizes that she went to school with her. As a matter of fact they were friends...friendship bracelets and all.

JACK is investigating the murder of the woman in the woods. The same woman who Anna knows. Jack and Anna have a romantic history and not only is Jack investigating the murder of this woman but he is a suspect in the case. His footprints and male juices are all over the crime scene.

The story is fast paced and addictive. I was thrilled and engaged the entire time. Completely recommend His & Hers.

* Trigger Warnings: Very descriptive animal abuse, bullying, grooming, sexual harassment

I received a free copy of this audiobook from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I don't read many suspense books, but this description was really intriguing!

I loved the setup of the book where it changed narrator POVs, giving us tiny glimpses of each person's story. And I definitely didn't see the ending! That was a great twist.

I really enjoyed the narrator and would happily listen to more books by this person.

My critique is in the audiobook format itself. I'm not sure if it was glitch in the App or the book itself, but after the credits came on at the end there was still about an hour left of the audiobook. And that hour was the beginning playing over again.

Other than the file glitch, I enjoyed this book! Thank you!

Anna, a TV presenter at the BBC, returns to her hometown to cover a murder. There, she finds out the lead detective is her ex-husband, Jack, and the victim is one of her childhood friends. The story alternates between Jack's (His), Anna's(Hers), and the unknown killer's viewpoints as the murder is investigated.

For a lot of mysteries/thrillers I read/listen to, I enjoy the suspense and anticipation of the book more than the ending and explanation of the mystery. Many endings leave me disappointed after great buildup. This book was the exact opposite. I found the most of the story a little slow, the characters not very likeable, and some dark and disturbing things happen that left me very turned off. However, the ending or last quarter of the book was suspenseful, gripping and surprising. I also enjoyed the alternating viewpoints and all the the narrators did a great job in the audiobook. The murderer's voice was especially creepy which added to the book's eerieness.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review. It is currently set to be published in July 2020.

"His & Hers" by Alice Feeney was a delight to read, a real masterpiece of the thriller genre.
The premise is deceptively straightforward: there's a murderer on the loose, and two unreliable first-person narrators - BBC journalist Anna Andrews and DCI Jack Harper, who used to be married to each other - alternate in telling the story, each seemingly pointing an accusatory finger at the other as the possible culprit.
But nothing is what it seems, and many, *many* more plausible perps will be discovered and discarded throughout the story, until the very last twist in the very last page.
The ending *will* blow your mind, even if you thought you had it all figured out (and you will think that, several times over, through the narration).
I was initially wary of this novel, as I tend to dislike the unreliable narrator technique, since it is often used by mediocre authors as a cheap circus trick to cheat the reader. But this is definitely not the case with "His & Hers": there's no cheating the reader in this book, and nothing is cheap or mediocre in these pages.
The plot is brilliantly constructed and chiselled to perfection: no deus ex machina required, no loose ends left. Reading "His & Hers" will make you journey across an ever-changing landscape of lies, secrets and hidden guilts, in which clues and false leads are so tightly woven together as to completely blur the line between true and false, right and wrong, good and evil.
The characters - all of them, even the minor ones - feel like living, breathing human beings in their flawed complexity. You will end up relating to each and every one of them, even the ones you can't help fearing or despising.
The writing style is sharp and polished, with no frills and not a word out of place.
This must be the best thriller I've read in a very long time, and the experience was made even better by the amazing job Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine did in narrating the audiobook

I finished this one in a day and it was really good. Strong 4.5⭐. It's been a while since I've read a great psychological thriller and this one suprised me positively. I was glued to the book since the first page and it kept me at the edge of the seat at all times.
Even when it seems predictable and when you think you have it all figured out, the story takes a crazy turn and proves you wrong. It was dark and intense with a brilliant plot twist and scream worthy ending. The only reason I'm not giving 5⭐ is because of the descriptive animal cruelty which I wasn't prepared for and that's one of the worst triggers for me. Aside from that I really loved it and I'm definitely reading more of this author.

What a ride! This thriller was creepy, fast-paced, and kept me questioning right up until the end. I listened to the audio version of this one, and the narrators were perfect as well - "Him", "Her", and an unknown third narrator with a voice changer that could be either one...or someone entirely different? This was another fabulous book by this author.

* Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a free audio version of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The Book

His & Hers is a good, solid, twisty, dark thriller centering around BBC newscaster Anna Andrews & ex husband DCI Jack Harper.
It is written from 3 alternating view points, Anna, Jack & the killer.
A body is found in the woods, Jack is investigating & ex wife Anna is sent to the scene to report it. The victim is a high school friend of Anna & is very well known to Jack too...
This brings up some very deep dark secrets for Anna & some awful memories, to say they have history is an understatement. Jack meanwhile is trying to find the killer whilst trying to keep his dark secret too.
Although a little unbelievable & confusing at times I enjoyed the ride to the last chapter which was when the killer was unveiled.
I was not knocked over by the revelation but it was different. I'd give the book itself 3.5/5

The Narration

I must say I found the 3 cast narration brilliant. Both Anna & Jack were clear and easy to listen to & the killer just totally freaked me out!
The voice changer was eerie & I often jumped when it came to the killers segment which just added to the overall effect of the audio.
This bought the audiobook up to an overall 4./5

This book absolutely deserved all of my stars! If you love a thriller that keeps you second guessing the entire time, this book is for you!

I listened to this on audio and the narrators were superb! This is one of those books that I'm actually thankful to have listened to vs reading as their narration pulled me deeper into the story. I hated having to hit that pause button, I just wanted to listen nonstop until it ended. For anyone who read the book and was wondering how it was done on audio, feel free to dm me ;) .

I love (and love to hate?) unreliable narrators, characters that are a hot mess and not necessarily likable yet you still get drawn into their stories. The dual perspective was perfect! The woods were a total added bonus. The entire time I was second guessing myself. I did get it right, but that doesn't matter since I kept thinking I was wrong and there were such good reasons to think I was wrong! Plus, there was still a twist. I love when I'm constantly reviewing things in my head.

I often don't put the plot into my reviews because 1) the synopsis is right up there ^ and 2) I know there are other people like me who prefer going into books blind, especially thrillers, so if you want to know any of that, you gotta read the synopsis. Just know that it's a kick ass thriller with twists that keep you guessing/second guessing throughout. And if you don't like messy characters and unreliable narrators, then this one probably isn't for you.

Many thanks to Netgalley, Macmillan Audio/Flat Iron books for the ALC!

This is a HEAVY audiobook.

Narrated by two narrators, a man and a woman, "His & Hers" is about a homicide detective, Jack, investigating the murder of a woman, known personally by him and his ex-wife, Anna. Anna is a reporter, assigned the case, and accordingly back in Jack's life.

The audiobook has dual perspectives (past and present) and dual narrators (jack and Anna).

There are many sections to this book, and almost every section ends on a cliffhanger.

As we join Jack and Anna on this creepy murder investigation, we learn what happened in their past and whether it affected the present.

There are heavy themes in this book, and I had to take breaks to keep my mood from spiraling into depression.

The narration was really good, but I don't recommend this audiobook to anyone who can't handle a UK accent. Sometimes the narration is too monotonous, and I found myself rewinding the book because I had been lulled into a state of calm and was completely ignoring the book.

This was a really good, creepy mystery. Although for me, I would have liked a "trigger" warning for one of the themes, which is saying a lot because I'm not really a very triggerable person.
