What an ending!! This book kept me guessing all the way through. I kept changing my mind about who did it, but man I did not see that coming! I was gripped throughout the whole book, and the writing was really good. The content was very sad, though, and pretty dark. I guess that’s to be expected when people die, but some of the scenes made me queasy.

Right up my alley! I loved the thrill of back and forth narrative from drunken news reporter Anna Andrews and small town detective Jack Harper. Following the deaths of former classmates Rachel, Helen and Zoe, it is clear revenge is always the reason. Although this was a great psychological thriller, I did not like the graphic events that occurred.

Summary:
A gripping dual-POV thriller where a detective and a news anchor—divorced and entangled in their past—find themselves at the center of a murder investigation, and either one of them could be hiding something deadly. 

What I Loved:
– The dual narration is brilliant. Both perspectives contradict each other just enough to keep you suspicious of everyone.
– The audiobook is incredible—especially the eerie voice of the killer woven into the story. Seriously chilling.
– So many twists, and just when I thought I figured it out… Alice Feeney hit me with another one.
– A perfectly dark tone, fast pacing, and the kind of finale that makes you gasp out loud. 

What I Didn’t Love:
– I had a bit of disbelief around the true identity of the killer—it stretched plausibility for me—but the execution was strong enough that I could see past it. 

Read This If You Liked:
Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica 

Final Thoughts:
His & Hers is one of those thrillers that gets under your skin. It’s twisted, smart, and impossible to put down. Every time I thought I had it solved, Feeney pulled the rug out from under me—and I loved every second of it. 

This one kept me guessing....it was tough to put down. All the characters are suspicious and I did not know till the very end who actually did it....
Then I had to go back and reread some parts to see if I could find a thread or pattern.
Great read, if you like thrillers, this one won't disappoint!
