what an absolute masterpiece!! this book hooked me from the first page and it was really hard to keep it down. it's filled with so many gut wrenching twist that had me gasping.
THE ULTIMATE PLOT TWIST WAS LEGIT UNPREDICTABLE. the book kept me confused and guessing the entire time. every single chapter ended with shocks and twists that had my mouth agape. Every character had it's own dark past that made me suspicious of them all but it didn't turned out to be the way i guessed. It was a page turner with alot of mysteries but also filled with so many hints if looked closely.
Very well written and well portrayed characters. i loved this book so much. it's legit the best thriller i have read by far

Anna Andrews has pretty much been replaced in her job as a presenter on a prime time TV news show. When a murder occurs in the countryside, Anna plans on outshining herself to prove her validity to the BBC station. However, this murder is far too close to her. The victim happens to be one of her friends from childhood. So, Anna goes much further than a simple quick report on her murder - pushing past every and any boundary in front of her. She wants to know what happens and will leave no stone unturned until she finds out what really happened.
When DCI Jack Harper sees Anna at the scene, he reacts much as she does when she spots him. They have a hot and tumultuous past between them. What is more is that Jack also knew the victim. What is going on and why is Jack suddenly a suspect in the murder? Some actual evidence, some circumstantial. That is what makes Jack's innocence harder and harder to believe as the case is investigated. Anna isn't flawless either. She has coped with some troubled times, including the loss of her baby and her battle with alcoholism. Why she is not as reliable as could be during the course of the investigation is slowly revealed.
As this was an audiobook, with a male and female narrator, I found this book to be utterly thrilling and pretty much impossible to stop. Every time I thought I would take a break, I figured just another 15 or 30 minutes. Before I knew it, I was closing in on an incredible ending in what was most definitely a thrilling story.
One thing that made this book so captivating was the rapid change of point of view, that of Anna and that of Jack. Even the killer had his own POV, in a chilling voice that Richard Armitage did flawlessly. As a true lover of audiobooks, it can be said that a narrator can make or break a book, no matter how good the story is. The narrators chosen for this book hit spot on.
Many thanks to Macmillan Audio and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

Feeney keeps me guessing, even when I'm pretty sure I'm right. I still doubt. Which I love.
But the triggers in this one, which I wasn't aware of, were too much. It really knocked me sideways in a way I didn't enjoy.
But the devices were still so good it got 2.5 stars.

I love the way that Alice Feeney weaves thought-provoking social commentary into her narrative, I always find myself highlighting so many little one-liners. It was a good thriller with a solid twist. Read it OR listen to it because the audiobook is dually narrated by both His & Hers narrators.
4 stars
I liked the three narrators of this book. Always trying to figure out who the third narrator was. I was constantly changing my mind as to who I thought the killer was

What a ride! I guessed the whodunit but this was still an amazing read. Full review to come.
