Review: His & Hers

His & Hers by Alice Feeney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

His and Hers is the first novel I've read by psychological thriller author Alice Feeney. The novel opens with Anna Andrews, who has been a BBC News presenter for the past two years, covering for Cat Jones, who was on extended maternity leave. Anna's day starts badly, from her hangover to her finding out that the following day, Cat is returning to the presenter chair and that Anna's been demoted back to being an investigative reporter. And to get that investigative reporting off to a start, she's being given the assignment to investigate what may be a murder- the body of a beautiful blonde woman has been found in the woods near Blackdown, a village filled with painful memories for Anna and where her mother still lives. Anna's story alternates with that of Detective Inspector Jack Harper, who lives in Blackdown and is charged with investigating the death. That sure gets complicated, since Jack was having a secret affair with the victim. The twisted threads of these two storylines make for a read that keeps you engaged and guessing as the body count rises and the links between Anna and Jack are clarified. Who is killing women in Blackdown and why? Feeney keeps the reader guessing until the very end.

The audiobook, narrated by Stephanie Racine and the sonorous Richard Armitage, enhanced my reading experience, effectively bumping the novel from 3.5 to 4 stars for me.
