APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A murder in a sleepy British village becomes deeply personal when the victim is connected to both the journalist covering the story and the detective investigating it. BBC newsreader Anna Andrews never wanted to return to Blackdown, where she survived a traumatic adolescence. Detective Jack Harper thought he’d left the chaos of London behind for quiet village life, until this case landed on his desk. Anna and Jack both have troubling connections to the dead, and as more bodies turn up, the case spirals into something even more sinister. Alice Feeney constructs layer upon layer of misdirection, adding flashbacks revealing the toxic dynamics of teenage friendships and the lasting damage they cause. If you love psychological thrillers that keep you guessing until the very end, His and Hers is a must-read.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Feeney surpasses the dexterous deviousness on display in her 2018 debut, Sometimes I Lie, in this cunningly constructed psychological thriller centered on a bitterly divorced couple who are forced to cross paths again by a murder in Blackdown, Surrey, their hometown. Despite London BBC News correspondent Anna Andrews's best efforts, she's has been dispatched to the sleepy village to cover the case, whose investigation her former husband, Det. Chief Insp. Jack Harper, is leading. Both have conflicts of interest concerning the victim Anna's seductive former schoolmate, Rachel Hopkins which, if known, would subject each of them to scrutiny. But before Jack and his crack second-in-command, Det. Sgt. Priya Patel, can make much headway, another body is discovered by Anna and potential links to the pair prove impossible to ignore. At this point, the plot quickens and thickens, and Feeney does a masterly job of folding in layers of several characters' troubled shared pasts and explosive secrets. The breathtaking finale is sure to blindside readers. This is a masterpiece of misdirection.
Customer Reviews
Pretty great, except…
This book was a good read, good writing style, interesting characters. I kept changing my mind about who was guilty, which made it a lot of fun to read.
My only problem was with the end. Once you realize who ACTUALLY dunnit, it’s quite the surprise…and way, way too hard to believe. Just not realistic at all, sorry. But if that isn’t a big deal to you, then I’d recommend this book.

3 sides of the story
Fun and twisty whodunit. When childhood friends start to die, Anna a journalist and Jack a detective, who also happen to be exes, wonder who’s to blame. They both question each others motives. But the past has a funny way of catching up to you.
