His & Hers is the first book I have read by Alice Feeney and it certainly will not be my last! This was a gripping, fast paced, twisty thriller where you just have no idea what is going to happen next. I was totally hooked throughout!

Anna Andrews works her dream job as a BBC News presenter. She has put her career first before her friends and family and is now lonely, constantly drinking and trying to move on from some upsetting past events in her life. When her career takes an unexpected turn, she ends up being sent to report on a murder in the quiet village of Blackdown where she grew up to find out the victim is someone she knows.

Her ex husband, Jack Harper is the DCI leading the investigation and when he arrives at the murder scene he recognises the victim. He chooses not to tell any of his colleagues as a lot of circumstances linked to the murder could make him a suspect. The question is, is Jack or Anna telling the truth or is one of them lying?

When reading this, just remember that this book is based on lies. Alice Feeney manages to keep you guessing throughout. A lot of times I was convinced I had worked out who the killer was and then another twist would occur. The author most definitely keeps you on your toes!

I definitely see this being a big hit over the coming months.

Thank you to HQ and Netgalley for providing me with a copy of the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was an easy to read thriller that kept my attention all the way through! Lots of twists and surprises I didn't see coming. Very good, would recommend! Interesting and addictive! Love Alice Feeney!

I really enjoyed this book. I had absolutely no idea who the killer was going to be. There were a few suspects in the mix and I didn’t know who was telling the truth or who to believe. The characters are well written and the story flows so easily. I found I really didn’t want to put the book down. I definitely recommend this book, thank you #netgalley.

A classic tale of unreliable narrators and deciding who is really telling the truth. Loved it!
Thank you to netgalley and HQ books for an advance copy of this book

This is a dark psychological thriller with a few twists thrown in for good measure.
Following the discovery of a body in the woods Jack is called out to investigate and Anna, as a journalist is soon to follow to get the story.
We find out early on that the two main characters have history but as the story develops more and more is revealed.
The story is told in alternating chapters from Jack and Anna’s perspective and entitled ‘Him’ and ‘Her.’
There are paragraphs from the killer’s perspective but you don’t know who this is until the end and due to the formatting of the book they were tagged on the him and her chapters, which was a bit confusing. This may be because it was an ARC though.
This is a great psychological thriller that will keep you guessing.
Thanks to HQ and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I do LOVE a good suspenseful psychological thriller that captures you from the beginning and makes you wonder and question what you are reading. A story that makes you wish the story never finishes and yet you want to see how it ends. And His & Hers did just that for me. I really enjoyed Alice Feeney’s previous novels, but this new one, so far, is my absolute favourite.

Set in a small town in Surrey with a claustrophobic atmosphere that gave me goosebumps, the story is told from two different points of views: one is Jack, a detective trying to solve the murder of a woman while, at the same time, trying to hide the fact that he had spent the previous evening with the victim and Anna, the journalist determined to prove that she is really good at her job so she conducts her own investigation of the murder, but she has her own secrets to hide. Who can you trust? What are they hiding? And are they involved in the crime?

For one who reads many, way too many, thrillers I am surprised when a story manages to still keep me guessing and surprises me over and over again. This book has everything I love in psychological thrillers:

unreliable characters full of secrets: ✅
high tension that keeps me on the edge of my seat: ✅
twists that I never see coming: ✅
a surprising and shocking ending that makes me love the story even more: ✅
Would I recommend this novel? Of course, 100%. It is suspenseful, unpredictable and gripping. The only problem that I had with His & Hers is that I was so immersed in the story that I found myself reading through the night which wasn’t a very good idea. This is such a chilling read that every time I heard a noise from outside I would jump out of my skin, but I couldn’t stop reading!

His & Hers is a face paced psychological thriller. It took me a few chapters to really get into it but I’m glad I persevered as it becomes a gripping addictive read! Well written characters and a narrative that keeps you guessing until the end.

His and Her was one of my most anticipated new releases of this year. I loved Alice Feeney’s previous books so my expectations were pretty high. And as always the author did not disappoint me.

Alice Feeney has yet again delivered a fantastic thriller with a mind blowing twist at the end.
The author’s done an amazing job with a dual narrative. The story is told from divorced couple’s points of view with the chapters cleverly overlapping each others. I loved the passages written from the murder’s point of view and I was constantly trying to figure out who it it.

This books has everything I love about good thriller: unreliable characters, dark secrets, lies and clever twist and I was totally absorbed in the story. Highly recommend not only to Feeney’s fans.

I've only read one author Alice book. I did get bit confused in the beginning but soon figured it out and can honestly say it gripped me to the end.

I adored her first novel Sometimes I Lie. Her writing in #HisandHers is just as good, insightful & clever. The way she describes feelings and thought processes - it’s so intimate and real. Her writing is like honey - she has the most perfect turn of phrase and you just want to drink those words in. His & Hers is much more of a crime novel that her 1st book, rather than psychological. It’s the hunt for a serial killer & everything about the town it’s all taking place in. ‬The most enjoyable and gripping parts of the book are the flashbacks. An exploration of just how cruel and vile teenage girls can be to each other. This book is complicated. You are never quite sure of what’s what. It’s that constant subverting if expectation that keeps you hooked!

An alcoholic news anchor called Anna Andrews who will do anything for her career.
There is a murder in Blackdown, a tiny little village in Surrey and Anna is sent to be the correspondent for the BBC. Anna desperately does not want to cover this story but there is no way out and that is when we discover that Anna actually grew up in Blackdown.

DCI Jack Harper now works and lives in Blackdown where he misses the excitement of working in the city and still misses his wife. Jack is quietly pleased that something has finally happened in Blackdown although he is suspicious of Anna and her involvement and then Jack himself becomes a suspect.

This shows us how there are always two sides to the story . . and sometimes even more.

This is a little beauty! Things were brittle enough between newsreader Anna Andrews and her ex-husband DCI Jack Harper before they found themselves working on the same murder case, where they both knew the victim. It isn't long before Harper finds himself being set up as the murderer and it isn't long before victim number 2 appears, another blast from the past for them both. The story falls back to the school days of Anna, fitting in and her friends with Jack Harper a couple of years older and in the background.
This is a busy book with so much going off in the past especially the need to be in with the popular girls. Every character is so vivid that one way or another it will bring back school days to you. The story continues in the present day with Harper's sidekick and partner acting more than a little strange. This is one harrassed man from every direction though most of it he deserves.
The chapters are set out so that you get to see things through Harper's eyes and thoughts and then through Andrews' each headed His and Her. I don't think between them they can tell a true sentence. There are some very unforgettable characters in this story both in the past and in the present day. I was blown away at the end. This lady really knows how to reel you in. Loved every twisted second of this story!
I wish to thank NetGalley and the publisher for an e-copy of this book which I have reviewed honestly.

This book had me reading well into the early hours! The events of more than twenty years ago have far reaching repercussions for the present day, and thus lead you into a series of murders that are all linked - but why? Those are the answers we must find, and we are led through a series of twists and turns galore. As each part of the puzzle is unearthed, we've found our killer, right? Wrong! The final reveal is as unexpected, as it is fitting, albeit in a twisted, unbelieving way. Fast paced - with believable, colourful characters - this is a highly recommended read. I would like to thank Netgalley and the Publishers for allowing me the opportunity of reading and reviewing this ARC.

His & Hers is a psychological thriller that will appeal to Alice Feeney's many fans and bring her new ones. It is a roller coaster of a story involving Anna, a TV news reporter, and DCI Jack Harper. Back in Blackdown, the village they both grew up in, he is investigating the murder of a woman whose body he recognises. Jack and Anna have previous history and soon one murder follows another. There are many twists and turns to come and I defy anyone to guess who the murderer is. In fact, I found it to be an unlikely protagonist and the ending beyond reality! But still a good read with excellent characterisation. Many thanks to Netgalley and HQ for the opportunity to read and review His & Hers.

Having listed to Alice Feeney's second novel I Know Who You are on audio book and thoroughly enjoyed its audacious plot I was keen to read more so thrilled to be offered the chance to read His and Hers. This book certainly didn't disappoint with the twists and turns of the literary equivalent of the roller coaster seemingly never ending.

The book is told from two different viewpoints DCI Jack Harper who is investigating the murder of a woman, one he knew having both grown up in Blackdown. Anna Andrews gives us another view from her position of a journalist, one who has been employed presenting the 1pm news on the BBC. She travels back to Blackdown where she grew up only to find her ex-husband is in charge of the investigation. As the story reaches back into the past the number of suspects only seems to grow. This is a book where everyone could be a suspect but even so the outcome was a complete surprise.

What can break this type of story which lets face it, inhabits the very edge of believability, is the motives and characters and Alice Feeney has nailed both. The characters may not be particularly likeable but they are definitely distinctive with a large enough helping of humanity scattered throughout the book to keep the reader engaged in finding the truth.

His and Hers by Alice Feeney
Surprisingly I had never read another book by this author but reading this has made me keen to search out her other novels. The story is told from two different perspectives that of DCI Jack Harper and Anna Andrews a presenter for the BBC. We view the story through their eyes but we are unable to judge the reliability of their version of events. He has left the Major Crime Team in the Met for a job in a sleepy Surrey Village and Anna has just had her dream job, presenting the lunchtime news, snatched from her by her predecessor’s sudden return from maternity leave.
We know that they both hold many secrets and as these are gradually revealed we twist and turn; believing all the time that we know what is happening only to have our ideas repeatedly challenged. We know from the outset that Anna has suffered a traumatic experience and it is also revealed early on that DCI Jack Harper had a relationship with the dead woman that he would prefer no one found out about. All the evidence seems to point us in his direction but things are never that simple.
Setting the story in Blackdown Woods means they become an additional menacing character in the novel. The story keeps you gripped to the very last page as you race to establish which truth you can believe. It is definitely a novel which I will recommend to my various book groups and will definitely get people talking. Many thanks to Net Galley and the publishers for the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

This was an addictive read that’s for sure! It was a shocker too. Chapter after Chapter the author unravelled a little bit more and although at times it contributed to the chaos and could be quite confusing – it was also what kept the pace of the book going for so long.

The connections within this book are twisted together so well that it’s hard to unravel them but Alice Feeney does it carefully, dropping shockers along the way. The characterisation is great – different sides to every story…and every character. If you’re looking for a clever, fast-paced read, then this is the book for you.

This is actually my first book from Alice Feeney but I have heard so many great things about her. Having read this, I will certainly be reading from her again!

This book is jam packed full of twists and turns which keep you guessing right until the end. The book was so well thought out that even by the end there are still so many questionable characters and you don’t know whether you can trust them or not.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing an ecopy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Loved this novel, great atmospheric writing Blackdown woods are so creepy. Lots of twists and turns - who can you trust. A surprise ending that I didn't see coming.
Highly recommended

This is a must read for anyone who loves psychological thrillers where you’re kept off balance by the use of the first person. The chapters alternate between him and her and you don’t know who to trust. Just when you think you’ve worked it all out, another event happens and you’re forced to rethink. My brain was exhausted by the end but I’m not complaining as this is what I crave from a book. Well written, good rounded characters and a great dramatic suspenseful plot - what more could you want!
