His & Hers

8.5⭐️ - rounded down for Bookclubs The queen of the twists! I love the way Alice Feeney writes, it really keeps me on my toes and trying to guess the outcome. My notes were just me asking myself more questions and then going back to old thoughts to just find myself backtracking again. I think the only thing I could guarantee was that I didn’t trust anyone. I enjoyed the dual perspectives but it definitely added to the plot twists. The audio was incredibly creepy specifically the murderer chapters. I won’t say it’s perfect but it definitely had me on the edge of my seat and managed to continue to shock me so I’d say that’s a win. If you like a good, twisty, psychological thriller, I highly recommend.

Pretty good page-turning thriller, providing a nice break between meatier reads. I did not in any way shape or form guess who the culprit was, so that was quite a surprise!

Sinister and dark...though the big reveal at the end was a bit of a stretch for me - sometimes it is better to stick to one of the more predictable suspects and commit to better character development rather than an outlandish twist just for the shock factor. This was definitely a fast-paced read, though it was also a tough one at times, as none of the characters were likeable and the one character that truly deserved justice and redemption was garishly discarded. Might give one more Feeney book a try as who doesn't enjoy a dark thriller...

Very good, even after having watched the series first! Loved it

His & Hers hooks you with obsession and keeps twisting the knife until you question every perspective in front of you. Anna Andrews returns to her hometown to report on a murder that feels a little too close to her past. Detective Jack Harper is already there working the case. Jack and Anna are still tangled in a marriage that never quite ended. Their shared history hums beneath every interaction with equal parts longing and resentment. The dynamic gives the investigation a charged edge. The structure plays with perspective that keeps you alert. Chapters from the killer carry a distorted and almost theatrical voice that adds a layer of menace. It feels unsettling like you are being let in on something you should not hear. The tension builds through secrets, old friendships, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Anna stands out as a deeply flawed lead. Her struggle with alcoholism is portrayed with sharp clarity. Like when you see her sense of relief that she feels when buying alcohol. The portrait of addiction is uncomfortably honest. Her grief over losing her child adds another layer to her choices. She uses that trauma to maintain the distance between her and Jack. Jack’s obsession with Anna adds a heat that cuts through the darker edges of the story. He is not distant or indifferent. He is all in and still drawn to her despite everything that has broken between them. The intensity shows up in the way he watches her, how he stays tied to her life, and he never really lets go. It creates a push and pull where Anna resists and Jack remains steady. This dynamic only makes the tension crackle with sparks. His devotion is messy, reckless, and impossible to ignore. He makes their relationship feel magnetic and inevitable. I just love an man who is obsessed with his woman! The murder mystery itself spirals into something dramatic and unexpected. The final reveals stack quickly. The story pulls together buried trauma, revenge, and long-held secrets. Twists deliver shock value. Though it may feel excessive depending on your taste for excessive twists. Where the book lost me was in the pacing. The story stretches itself thin with red herrings, extra detail, and a wide cast of characters. I found my attention drifting during long sections in audio format. The ideas are strong, but the delivery takes its time getting there. The audiobook performances elevated the experience. Stephanie Racine captures Anna’s vulnerability and edge with precision. Richard Armitage brings an intensity to Jack that makes his connection with Anna spark. The production choices, especially the altered voice for the killer, add to the eerie tone and kept me engaged even when the pacing slowed. I watched the Netflix adaptation first and I preferred the tighter storytelling of the show. The book offers more depth and context around the motives behind the crimes. It wanders more than it needs to. This is a thriller for readers who enjoy messy characters, layered timelines, and dramatic reveals that keep unfolding until the final page.
