Who May Not Like This Book:
Some readers found the characters hard to warm up to, feeling Jack and Anna were a bit too self-absorbed or unlikable. The story does touch on dark themes - including some animal cruelty and sexual assault - so it might not be for everyone. A few felt that the twists stretched believability or that the ending was a little too wild for their tastes.

FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF Sometimes I Lie
"Stunning. Addictive. This book should not be missed!" -Samantha Downing
"Deliciously dark…will have readers tearing through the pages." -Mary Kubica
"Gives Gone Girl a run for its money…I couldn't stop reading." -Christina Dalcher
There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, His & Hers. Which means someone is always lying.
When a woman is murdered in Blackdown, a quintessentially British village, newsreader Anna Andrews is reluctant to cover the case. Detective Jack Harper is suspicious of her involvement, until he becomes a suspect in his own murder investigation.
Someone isn't telling the truth, and some secrets are worth killing to keep.
His & Hers is a twisty, smart, psychological thriller. A gripping tale of suspense, told by expertly-drawn narrators that will keep readers guessing until the very end.
"For the ultimate rollercoaster reading experience this year, look no further than His & Hers by Alice Feeney." -Woman & Home

Mantiene la intriga durante todo el libro. Parece muy evidente el final. Quizás demasiado… hasta que da un giro inimaginable…
Lo recomiendo.
Fantastic fast paced read. Does the he said she said throughout so you get both perspectives with some excellent twists that blew my mind. Can't recommend enough.
I love the angst between the narrators. I love that the book pulls the rug out from under you over and over again.
I wish that there was more slueth energy. With our narrators being a journalist and a detective, I was expecting more investigation.
For the record, I totally saw the ending twist coming.
