Rock Paper Scissors

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Feeney lives up to her reputation as the “queen of the twist”…This page-turner will keep you guessing.” —Real Simple on Rock Paper Scissors
Think you know the person you married? Think again…

Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife.

Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts--paper, cotton, pottery, tin--and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after.

Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget.

Rock Paper Scissors is the next exciting domestic thriller from the queen of the killer twist, New York Times bestselling author Alice Feeney.

Loved this book. So many twists and turns. And definitely didn’t predict the ending

This thriller starts off pretty happy and chipper with harmless omitted secrets between a husband and wife. A wrench is thrown into disrupt things and everything from that moment on is a whirlwind of creepy moments, memories and well constructed plans. This author does a great job with putting a plot together so sound you keep guessing and are still being surprised right up until the end of the story.

Wow! what a phenomenal read!
This book starts with, and continues throughout, with letters written from a wife to her husband every wedding anniversary.
Amelia has won a stay at a converted chapel which is very remote, her marriage with Adam has not been as it could have been for a while and she is hoping this will help ‘fix’ things.
As soon as they arrive strange things start happening…I am not going to write any more about the plot as I do not want to give anything away. YOU NEED TO READ IT!!!

This is full of twists that I didn’t want to put the book down. It was intense, chilling and like nothing I have read before.
Alice Feeney wrote such an amazing book that I had a huge book hangover afterwards.
I would say this is her best book to date!
