tenshiwing07's review against another edition

Some of the things in this book were sickening. I really wish the book had killed off more characters than it did, honestly (a lot of male characters that were happy to take advantage of young girls, mainly.) A lot of it was disturbing for so, so many reasons, and not in a good way. In a large way, everyone in the book is a villain in some form. You're not sad when any of them die other than the last two. To a point, the real villains are oddly so villainous they aren't even believable. (Like the fur coat thing was Cruella level)

I did guess who the killer was almost the first time meeting them. I kept suspecting it at certain points but the book kept me second guessing myself until the end. Did it surprise me? Yes. Did I think it was believable... ish. Did I like 90% of what happened in the book? No. Did I like the mystery? I'm honestly not sure since I like to be surprised but I'm not sure I liked these surprises.

Unreliable narrator, which I enjoyed. Was taken aback by some graphic content, but I should've looked for a content warning before reading.

Holy plot twists, Batman! Good mysteries and thrillers keep you guessing, and that's exactly what Alice Feeney did with His & Hers.

As the name suggests, we get the both the POV of two people who used to be married: "his" and "hers." He is Jack--a detective who used to live in London but is now working the cases of the small country town he grew up in. She is Anna--a newscaster living in London who was assigned to cover a murder in the small town where her ex-husband is living. Jack and Anna discover that the victim was a woman they went to school with, and they both have a heavy history with her. Over the next few days, more people are murdered, and no one knows who they can trust.

Every time I thought I had something figured out, I was nowhere near the truth. This is decidedly one of my favorite Alice Feeney books to date and one that I'd recommend to all mystery and thriller lovers.

This one just kept me on the edge of my seat, and it creeped me out real bad. Did not see the end coming, and I was really wondering until the last second who I should feel most afraid of. Alice Feeney writes good shit.
