Publisher's Summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of Sometimes I Lie.

"Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine give an arresting performance of this dark psychological thriller.... As secrets are uncovered and additional bodies are found, Armitage and Racine shine with impeccable pacing, building tension that adds to the suspense." (AudioFile Magazine)

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 guessing until the very end.

"[A] cunningly constructed psychological thriller.... This is a masterpiece of misdirection." (Publishers Weekly, starred review) 

"Feeney offers a brilliant cat-and-mouse game...[a] volatile, tension- and thought-provoking mix." (Booklist)

Critic Reviews

"No one can plot - or write - a story like Alice Feeney. His & Hers is a stunning, addictive novel that makes you wonder who you can trust - if anyone. Captivating from beginning to end, this book should not be missed!" (Samantha Downing, best-selling author of My Lovely Wife)

"Feeney does it again! His & Hers is a twisty dual-narrative that gives Gone Girl a run for its money and leaves you wondering if you can trust anyone. I couldn't stop reading." (Christina Dalcher, best-selling author of Vox) 

“The twists pile up...visceral and haunting.” (Oprah.com)

No need for animal cruelty

I deleted the book before finishing because there is no need for animal cruelty in this story.

The story was good the narration was not.

This book was narrated as if it was a play, instead of a novel. An overly dramatic reading distracts from the story. I almost stopped listening to this book, even though I was quite interested in the outcome of the mystery.

Twists and Turns Everywhere

From the first Chapter to the last, this book was twisting and turning.

The story is told from three POV; Anna Andrews; Jack Harper and the Killer. Each tells their version of events, but what is the whole truth. They all have secrets and some of those secrets are what bring the killer to task.

I couldn't stop listening to this story because I needed to find out who did it. Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine were perfect in their roles.

P.S. I thought I knew who the killer was about a fourth of the way through the story......and I was right. It didn't stop me from listening because I needed to know why.

Mixed feelings

I didn't figure it out before the end which is a nice feeling. I also didn't like the violence and sex with the teenagers....too much for my liking.

COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!!

This is the 3rd book I've listened to by this author, and all 3 have been difficult to put down! Every character is a suspect and there are red herrings throughout. There is also an event or discovery in each of her books that is unquestioningly disturbing, but so unique compared with many other books that won't cross that line. For me, I loved the anticipation of finding out what messed up situation the author would come up with - I have not been disappointed yet! Then, even knowing there would be a twist at the end, I was still taken by surprise because it was more like a triple twist! *Warning - this book does have scenes that include sex, bullying, rape, and murder, though none are described in graphic detail*

Very fun!

Great story, exciting twists and suspenseful. I kept guessing between a few characters up to the end. It was a thoroughly enjoyable ride!

one day

So pretty much finished in one day. Some books are a bit hard to get into right away but this one i was interested the min it started and never stopped

Horrible people kill other horrible people.

I didn't really dislike it but...
1. I wild guessed who the killer was about half way through and was right.
2. Ending was far too saccharine for me but perhaps that was Ms. Feeney's intent.
3. All the loose threads were pulled together at the end. Sort of.
4. Audio presentation was rather good.

This was my first Alice Feeney novel and I'll probably download another one of her novels just as a tie-breaker.

ON AND ON AND ON ...

Excellent narration kept this story well-paced. The plot at times, though, was unnecessarily convoluted and the ending dragged on interminably, well past the point of any interest by the listener. Not recommended.

Speechless

This is the best book I’ve ever read. Gripping, suspenseful, thought-provoking, and captivating. I couldn’t put it down. It’s a “must read”.
