Book Review - His & Hers by Alice Feeney

Title: His & Hers
Series: -
Author: Alice Feeney
 
Description: When a woman is murdered in Blackdown, a quintessentially British newsreader Anna Andrews is reluctant to cover the case. Detective Jack Harper is suspicious of her involvement, until he becomes a suspect of his own murder investigation. Someone isn’t telling the truth, and some secrets are worth killing to keep.
 
Review: There are at least two sides to every story: Yours and mine. Ours and theirs. His and hers. And that means someone is always lying.
 
In Blackdown, nothing really ever happens until a woman is murdered in a parking lot. Journalist Anna Andrews is reluctant when she has to report on this police investigation. Detective Jack Harper suspects Anna’s involvement in the case, but eventually becomes a suspect himself. One of them is not telling the truth, but who?  
 
This is the first time reading a book by Alice Sweeney, hearing a lot of great things about her. And “His & Hers” didn’t disappoint. Each chapter brings us something new about the characters and the case. They are told from three different perspectives: Him, detective Jack Harper, her, Anna Andrews, and the killer. I listened to the audiobook of this, which I can highly recommend. The killer's voice is distorted, so you will not know up until the end, who it is and whether the killer is a man or a woman.
 
Because the chapters are fairly short, it has cliffhangers at the end of each chapter and there is tension at all times, the book is a quick and easy read. As the story progresses a few things become clear, but mainly you get more and more questions. Piece by piece you can eventually fit all the pieces into the puzzle and the story stays exciting until the very end. And nothing is what it seems. Even at times you think you have figured it out, you haven’t.
 
Alice Feeney manages to captivate the reader from beginning to end. the suspense is continuous. And even when you think it’s finished, Feeney still manages to blow you away.
 
Even though this is not Feeney’s first book, it was my first of hers and I’m really excited to read more of her work. She is an incredibly good thriller writer and I’m curious what other stories she has up her sleeve. I loved “His & Hers”. Highly recommend.
