I listened to the audio version of the book. I love audio books.
Although the title is his and hers the story is told from the perspective of 3 people, ( although you don’t know if they are all different people). unfortunately it starts with the distorted voice of the killer which I found annoying to listen to. But bear with it as you don’t hear from the killer very often.
There are 2 narrators which works well and I think it adds more interest having the Male and female voices.
The narrators I found to be satisfactory.
The 2 main characters are DCI Jack Harper who is dissatisfied with his life, and Anna Andrews, a functioning alcoholic with a superficial personality and very self absorbed. I didn’t find either of them to be likeable characters. For me the difference between a good book and a great one is how I engage with a character so that I am rooting for them throughout the book.
There are several other characters whose lives are interwoven and the story is told between the past and the present.
Over all I enjoyed the book.
There are a lot of strands to the story which adds interest as there is always something happening.
There is 1 strand that I feel is misdirection that doesn’t work well for me.
I was disappointed with the ending.
Thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to listen to this book.

I really enjoyed the multiple perspectives in thus book. The narrators were great, and the book kept me guessing until the end.

Most of the time, I do not enjoy dual narration storylines in audio format. With one narrater voicing both parts, it can be hard to differentiate characters. This book was perfectly done with two excellent narrators. I highly recommend the audio version.

As for the actual story, it was excellent. I can honestly say that I did not see that ending coming. There were so many twists and turns but not to the point that it cheapened the story.

Thank you to Netgalley, publisher and author for a copy of this book.

Soo many twist!!
There is nothing better than multiple POV's in a mystery/thriller because it's a cliffhanger at every chapter which makes keeps me turning the pages. (Or listening in this case)
I could not pinpoint who the killer was in this story, I did not see it coming at all. Great story, great writing and narration.
Totally recommend!

4+ stars

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for providing me an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

I was over the moon when I first saw that NetGalley was going to start providing audiobooks ARCs. I love listening to them but I can’t always find an available book in my library’s digital collection.

His and Hers is a well crafted thriller told from three points of view. There is Anna, a BBC newscaster with a drinking problem; Jack a police detective who knew the victim but doesn’t tell anyone; and a third unknown narrator.

The book goes back and forth between the three narrators and back in time to Anna’s childhood. Enjoyable, fast-paced with several good twists and turns.

I enjoyed listening to Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine read the book. I listen to audiobooks at 1.75x or 2.0x regular speed and even sped up they were clear and easy to follow. I thought there was an issue with the download for the first chapter but it was the third unknown narrator whose voice was disguised and which I didn’t understand that at first. The recording had a good flow to it.

If you haven’t already read it, go back and read Alice Feeney’s Sometimes I Lie.

I don't want to spoil even one tiny bit of this book, but I will say that it was absolutely enthralling. From the first chapter I was sucked into the tangled web that intwined Anna Andrews and Jack Harper. The twist and turns were behind every corner and even when you thought you knew the truth you were hit with the even more inconceivable facts. I listened to this as an audio book and I couldn't stop listening! The narration was incredibly engaging. The different nuances of the different characters, no matter who was speaking, was absolutely riveting. If you have the chance to pick this up as an audio book I would highly recommend it! #netgalley #hisandhers

This review is currently posted on my blog.

Excellent suspense Very twisted, full of intrigue and doubt. Written in a simple way but with a complicated, confusing plot that makes the reader doubt who the person behind the deaths really is. It is developed to a good compas giving to the end doubts and the surprise of who is really the killer. Well written, well narrated. Thanks netgalley for giving me the opportunity of my first audiobook which I enjoyed and I finished in one day. All opinions are strictly mine.

OH MY GOODNESS!⁣
⁣
I have been giving out many 5 star reviews lately but His & Hers was SO good!⁣
⁣
This audiobook from @libro.fm was fantastic! There are two sides to every story His and hers, yours and mine...Alice Feeney captivates you from the beginning that you just want to keep listening.⁣
⁣
We listen to Jack and Anna talk back and forth and then the killer. The fact that the killers voice is creepy as hell and auto-tuned made this even more eerie, but it made me love it even more. ⁣
⁣
People start showing up dead, then you find out just how all of these victims are linked to one another, the story gets more and more addicting and jaw dropping each chapter.⁣
⁣
Every chapter I was like I think this person is the killer, no wait this person, no wait?! 🤔 I legit had no idea until the very end who the killer was because I was convinced it could’ve been anyone. ⁣
⁣
This is definitely an excellent thriller for 2020. But a few trigger warnings- It’s a bit graphic at times, animal abuse and sexual abuse of minors. ⁣

Thank you #netgalley and @flatironbooks for an ARC audiobook for an honest review!

His & Hers is the third book I’ve read by Alice Feeney, and in my opinion, by far the best. I listened to the audiobook, and I could not stop listening. I believe it is a 10 hour book and I literally listened straight through to the end. I’m amazed at this book has not gotten more attention.
When the book begins, I had to do a double take because of the voice coming out. That is quickly explained as we go right into the story. Anna is working the on air desk for a midday BBC broadcast. She began when her predecessor went out on maternity leave and didn’t come back. Suddenly, the new mom returns and Anna is out of her job. She’s put back on the correspondence desk and is not happy about it. Kat, the new mom, suggest she covers a murder that just occurred in a small town not too far from their location. It turns out that this is where Anna grew up. She does not want to return, not only because of the memories, but because her ex-husband, Jack, lives there now and he is a police detective. Her mother, who she hasn’t seen in quite a while also still lives there.
Regardless, she goes and along with her is a camera crew, including Richard who she’s previously slept with years ago. actually they are quite a few characters sleeping with people they should not be.
There are two narrators, Jack Indiana, or His & Hers, and a third narrator whose voice is disguised. These characters are involved in a major twisted story. Each time you turn around there is a new twist and it all seems to go back to when Anna was in school. Every time I thought I had The mystery solved, I was so wrong. I considered every character a viable suspect at some point. The ending may be a bit far-fetched for some, but I thought it was fitting. This is a definite must-read if you enjoy suspense, thriller, mystery type books.
Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced audiobook arc in return for my honest opinion.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my first audiobook arc!

I love thrillers and this... well this was absolutely wild! I kept thinking I knew who the killer was for me to then only change my mind again 50 pages later!

The narrators did a great job and I loved how the chapters of the actual killer were done using a voice changer, that was really unique and not something I’ve come across before.

This book had a lot of elements I really like; morally grey characters, a is he isn’t he corrupt cop and lots of twists. The back story of each character and their possible motives was really well thought out and it had a nice flow to it.

A thoroughly good read

Alice Feeney is once again playing mind games with us and she does it oh so skillfully. In my favorite genre of dark and twisty psychological mystery thrillers, Feeney is on my short list of Definitely Must Read!

I listened to this one in audio book format and was initially surprised by the sound quality of one of the readers. The voice recording was so eerie and it lent itself so well creating the dark and sinister atmosphere that envelops this story. Initially, I struggled to understand why the recording of that character seemed off, but as I went deeper into the story, I discovered that the method of recording really enhanced the feel of the tale being told for me.

As for the story itself, I could not stop listening! I became completely engrossed in this gripping tale of old wrongs and damaged people who are thrust into each others orbits once again. Told in the alternating perspectives of "His", Detective Chief Inspector Jack Harper, "Hers" reporter Anna Anderson, and the Killers...
Jack and Anna's story unfolds and the Killer's weaves itself in like a snake through the littered forest floor. You think you hear something, you might have seen something out of the corner of your eye, but the harder you look for it the more you realize you can't see exactly what is happening until it is too late.

Firstly, thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to listen to an advance copy of this audiobook. I did listen in the NetGalley shelf app, and I did experience some issues with the audio. It would freeze every few chapters, and I would have to close the app out and play again. It did pick up where I left off. Now, onto my review of this excellent book.

Holy smokes! The twists in this I did not see coming. Anna Andrews is a covering presenter on the BBC News. She is covering on a woman out on maternity leave, but is quickly delegated back to correspondent once her coworker returns to work. This results in Anna covering the murder scene of a woman she went to school with. The police detective covering this murder also has a history the victim. Feeney delves slowly into the lives of Jack and Anna. Anna is not exactly a likable character, but the reader is slowly given back story into Anna's life growing up. As more bodies pile up and Anna is somehow connected to each scene, Anna goes from reporter to possible suspect.

I could not stop listening to this book. The narrators, Richard Armitage and Stepanie Racine, do an excellent job giving a voice to these characters. I could be biased as I absolutely love British accents, but they each gave a lot of feeling (confusion, sadness, fear, etc.) to the characters. And let's not forget the ending!! The twists abound in this novel, and while I did have a few questions over aspects that I appear feel rushed, overall it is a solid novel. I highly recommend for a quick read/listen.

This is my first audio book from NetGalley Shelf. Twenty years ago I listened to an audio book, in my truck, and then listened to the nonfiction, How Not to Diet, recently so I'm a very novice audiobook listener. I had some difficulty with the app because it didn't start with the first chapter and then skipped chapters. I tried to go back and listen to anything I missed but the glitch made for a choppy listening experience. For this reason, I would have very much preferred reading the book but thus far have not been able to get my hands on the digital version.

Still, I certainly got the gist of things and enjoyed the story. The book is chock full of unlikeable characters and almost every one of them could be a red herring for the murderer, until they weren't anymore...not telling why though. We have three narrators and nobody is reliable whether because they outright lie or because the truth is hard to face. One narrator is "her", Anna Andrews, a newsreader/reporter, another is "him", Jack Harper, Anna's detective ex-husband, and the third narrator is the murderer. In the audio version, the murderer's voice is distorted so we don't know if it is a male or female, leaving us not knowing if the murderer is "him", "her", or anyone else.

The book starts right before the first murder and then things happen fast, with bodies piling up. Anna is sent to report on the murder/murders and Jack is the lead investigator and quickly also a suspect in the murders. Is Jack guilty or is someone setting him up? We just don't know because we can't be sure who is telling us the truth and who is lying to us, as the book progresses. I might go back and read the printed version of the book at some time since I think I'd bet a better idea of things by reading the book in order (rather than getting the audio chapters out of order, as happened to me with my first use of this new app). 

Warning - animal abuse

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for this ARC.

THIS THRILLER!!!!! What a perfectly creepy audiobook to listen to--I can't imagine how well this one will fly in print but it is fantastic on audio. Excellent narration by Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine makes for one compulsively readable book. I found myself trying to find extra household chores and taking longer walks just so I could keep listening.

This is the story of an ex-husband and wife who are both tracking the same set of crimes for different reasons. She, a network news reporter, and he, a cop, are both suspicious of each other's close involvement with the victims as the bodies pile up. Add in a creepy third narrator (a modified voice of the killer), and this one will have you guessing all the way to the end. Red herrings abound, and just when you think you've got this one figured out, Feeney knocks you out with another punch. It isn't until the VERY end that you actually find out what happens.

If I had one gripe it would be that the story felt a touch too long. The denouement was too lengthy for me, but I understand the author's reasons for including it. I also think it missed the final perspectives from one character, but again, these gripes are just minor. All in all a great thriller that would be perfect to bust you out of a reading rut. PICK.

I originally read this book which certainly took some getting used to. On seeing the audiobook I was interested to see if it felt different. It was better! Exactly the same story but by using two narrators (male and female) it makes the story so much clear. I can certainly understand the authors perception by listening to the audiobook.
The story flicks between narration of him then her. The story is centred around Jack and his ex wife Anna. Jack is a detective and Anna a journalist for the BBC. What re connects them is a series of murders in the place they grew up. And they are both connected to the victims.
The book will have you constantly guessing over who is the guilty party.. Lots of twists and turns and a fantastic ending

His and hers is full of suspense,edge of your seat content that just has you wanting to read on and on until you finish!! This follows Anne a news reporter who wants to solve the case of the Murder that has happened in this usually quiet British town and Detective Jack harper who is the leader of the murder case. These two people are linked together but how... you will have to find out for yourselves 😆.

It’s definitely a guessing game throughout with so many twist and turns and full of suspense.

It was such an amazing book that I recommend so much, and it was one of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long!!!

The audiobook was such a great route to go and I loved both narrators voices and they suited the Story so well.

4.5/5 stars

I absolutely loved the style of this book and it had me hooked right from the start. The two perspectives flowed well, and the characters were complex and intriguing. The pace was quick, and the story unfolded in a way that literally had me guessing until the plot twisting finale. I was so wrong in how I thought it would turn out, but that made it oh so much more fun! Would definitely recommend!

This was my first audiobook and I. AM. HOOKED. I have seen many raving reviews for Alice Feeney's other novels and a few great reviews for this novel from people lucky enough to get their hands on a copy early. When I saw this was a "listen now" on NetGalley's new app, I immediately downloaded and started listening on my drive home. I have no criticisms for this book at all. I loved the multiple POV's- his, hers, & the killer's. I think the quality of the readers and their voices were perfect. But mostly, I loved how Feeney laid out the book. She had small twists set up from the beginning of the book, such as how the characters knew each other. Well done thrillers introduce the killer early, keep them relevant, and still make it shocking when you find out they are the killer, and this novel did just that. It takes talent to not allow the reader to suspect who the murderer is, and then still have the book wrap up neatly in a tiny bow while the reader shakes his head. This will definitely be a novel I recommend to many and one I will ruminate over.
I am starting Feeney's "Sometimes I Lie" next. I am now a fan of hers AND audiobooks!

I’m not sure where to even begin. As a thriller this was quite a ride. Twists & turns that were shocking, pleasing and disturbing. The beauty of this book is the slow release of information adding so many layers and enough red herrings to keep the reader guessing & engaged. A few surprises I saw coming, but the big reveal was OFF THE RAILS, BAT SHIT CRAZY. Credit to author Alice Feeney, as it did have enough plausibility that I was stunned, but impressed with her ingenuity.

I wasn’t crazy about all the violence, gore and brutality, but it explains the reason why the murders took place. I think it’s best going into this book with as little information as possible.

It took me a bit to get into the narration. While I instantly loved the voice of Anna, I had difficulty understanding the heavy British accent presented by Richard Armitage. I do think the audio narration added to the intensity and suspense and would easily recommend.

Big thanks to NetGalley, Macmillan Audio and author Alice Feeney for providing me with an Audio copy for review. All opinions are my own.

Loved this book it blew me away! I read it in one sitting and the real plot twist, and it is only revealed in the last chapter. Extremely well written, it left my head spinning as I jumped between suspicions of each character being the culprit. If you’re considering reading “his and hers” then I would highly recommend you try it - you won’t be disappointed - you’ll be pulled in from the first page.
