His & Hers
by Alice Feeney
God bless Alice Feeney. I have been in a bit of a reading slump this month with mediocre book after mediocre book and a few less-than-mediocre sprinkled in. I needed something to pull me out of this rut. I needed something good, really good. Enter Alice Feeney.
I know this isn’t a recent publication for this author. I’m still making my way through her backlist. But I recalled a friend having listened to this one and really enjoying it, so I opted to jump in without looking and I was NOT disappointed. Thank goodness!
This one is right up there with Sometimes I Lie for me, which I liked slightly better than Daisy Darker. It grabs you from the beginning and holds your attention throughout. I had my guess as to who the murderer was and I was right, but let me tell you that Feeney had me second-guessing my choice the entire time! After finishing, I thought it would be fun to go back and listen to the murderer’s first chapter again and it just blows me away how deftly Feeney drops breadcrumbs that don’t feel like breadcrumbs until you’re looking backwards.
The dual audio narration is perfection. I love Stephanie Racine, who has narrated many of Feeney’s books, and Richard Armitage is back with Stephanie to add His POV. The voice modulator effect used for the murderer’s POV was chef’s kiss. Listen carefully to that modulated voice and see if you notice anything over the course of the book. If you notice what I’m talking about, you’ll appreciate how the producer of the audiobook added this additional layer to the story that was so perfectly aligned with Feeney’s method of storytelling.
I really enjoyed this audiobook and it was exactly what I needed to pull me out of my reading rut. If you love a good twisty plot that keeps you guessing, you’ll enjoy this one.
