Alice Feeney does it again! She draws you into the story with a superb start and then takes you on a jaw dropping journey until the end. In fact, I think my jaw fell open so many times it’s fixed in the gaping mouth position! I might have uttered the odd expletive as another shocker clobbers you! The story as the title implies is told from two perspectives. ‘His’ is DCI Jack Harper, head of MCT in Blackdown, Surrey a quintessential, sleepy and beautiful English town in the stockbroker belt. He’s a bit crumpled, not living his best life having retreated to Blackdown from the Met following a tragedy. ‘Her’ is Anna Andrews a temporary BBC news presenter filling in for Cat Jones who has been on maternity leave. Anna has plenty of secrets and there are several versions of ‘her’. When a Jane Doe is discovered stabbed multiple times in Blackdown Woods what follows is a tale of the unexpected as you would expect (!) from Alice Feeney.

The novel is well written and has a lot of excellent descriptions and metaphors of what it’s like inside His and Her heads. The plot is good and you think you have the truth sorted and then you realise you so haven’t as both perspectives are contradictory. It has more twists than a corkscrew and at times it’s so dark you can barely see a hand in front of your face. It’s mysterious, tense, creepy and spooky. The setting especially of Blackdown Woods adds an extra dimension of atmosphere as even the most benign woods at night can feel scary. There are revelations and shocking events to keep you wanting to read on and on. Although I did work out the big reveal it in no way spoils the enjoyment.

Overall, is a terrific read and highly recommended for fans of the genre.

Special thanks to NetGalley and HQ stories for the Arc.

I really enjoyed Alice Feeneys last 2 books so was excited to read this latest one, it did not disappoint, I was hooked straight away. Plenty of twists and turns and an ending that I did not see coming! Definitely worth a read.

I've loved the two previous books by Alice Feeney that I've read and this was no exception! The chapters alternate between Anna, a BBC reporter and Jack, a local policeman. Bodies start turning up in a small town and it becomes apparent that there is a link between them. Feeney is known for her unexpected twists and His and Hers certainly stays true to her style. I was genuinely gasping out loud as I was reading it. It's a very original plot and I thoroughly enjoyed it and raced through it in a day!
