There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, His & Hers. Which means someone is always lying.

Review:

I'm a sucker for books that keep me guessing until The End, and that's what His & Hers did.  Alice Feeney is a pro at mind games - both with her characters and readers.  In this book, women who all have past ties with each other are being murdered.  The story unfolds through three points of view - those of BBC Anchorwoman Anna Andrews, DCI Jack Harper and the killer.  The waters quickly become muddied when its learned that both Andrews and Harper also have ties to the women.  

Anna is living her dream job as the noontime anchorwoman of the BBC's News.  But when a past anchor returns from maternity leave, Anna is bumped back down to the correspondent position she held previously.  She's sacrificed everything for the anchor job including her marriage and sanity.  Now alone with her alcohol, she's angry and resentful.  When Jack sees the first woman's body, he's shocked to learn she's the woman he spent the previous night with having sex.  His life is getting ready to change forever.  And then there's the killer who kept me guessing right up until the end.

Feeney has rendered another twisted, gripping psychological thriller in His & Hers.  The ominous vibes drives the maddening pace forward through to the shocking end.  The small town setting adds to the creepy vibes and darkening tone.  I highly advise you go into this story blind and let it carry you away as I promise it will!  His & Hers is a dark, creepy thriller that I recommend to fans of mystery, suspense and thrillers.  If you get a chance to listen to this one on audio, do so as the narrators bring this thriller to life.

Synopsis:

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 readers guessing until the very end.
