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.
