I looooovveeeeeee a good thriller, guys! I was surprised by how much I loved this one, because the first Alice Feeney book I read was a DNF for me. I’m definitely going to reread it when I have the chance. The narration for the was superb and I’m super happy I listened to the audiobook because it was a special experience. The story is told in 3 POVs – His (Jack’s), Hers (Anna’s), and a third (the murderer’s). In the audiobook, the murderer’s POV is told in a gruffy scrambled voice, so we could never tell or guess their identity or even gender.

It starts off with one murder, and before long there’s a string of murders. We follow Anna and Jack, a presenter and a cop, as they deal with being on opposing sides of a murder investigation while being a divorced couple with a dead child between them. The pacing is amazing and the characters are perfect. I love how very minor characters get bigger roles to play as the events progress. The story is told over multiple timelines through present-time flashbacks. We get to see things as they unfold in the past and how much of an effect the past really has on the present.

There were SO MANY reveals and twists in this one and I kept screaming and gasping. I kept doing so many mental calculations and given what the big reveal was at the end, I’m not even ashamed to say I never ever in a million years could have guessed who the killer was. That’s what made this so good – the clues were all there but they kept pointing at so many people at the same time. I could talk about this book for agesssssss.

This was a solid 5-star read and everyone should get a copy. If you love a great thriller, this one won’t disappoint.

Blurb:
There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, his and 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 listeners/ readers guessing until the very end.
