Time: 10 hrs. and 39 mins.

Narrators: Richard Armitage & Stephanie Racine

Synopsis:

There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, His & Hers. Which means someone is always lying.

Anna Andrews finally has what she wants. Almost. She’s worked hard to become the main TV presenter of the BBC’s lunchtime news, putting work before friends, family, and her now ex-husband. So, when someone threatens to take her dream job away, she’ll do almost anything to keep it.

When asked to cover a murder in Blackdown―the sleepy countryside village where she grew up―Anna is reluctant to go. But when the victim turns out to be one of her childhood friends, she can’t leave. It soon becomes clear that Anna isn’t just covering the story, she’s at the heart of it.

DCI Jack Harper left London for a reason, but never thought he’d end up working in a place like Blackdown. When the body of a young woman is discovered, Jack decides not to tell anyone that he knew the victim, until he begins to realise he is a suspect in his own murder investigation.

One of them knows more than they are letting on. Someone isn’t telling the truth. Alternating between Anna's and Jack's points of view, His & Hers is a fast-paced, complex, and dark puzzle that will keep readers guessing until the very end.

"We all hide behind the version of ourselves we let the rest of the world see. "

I am always a sucker for a good suspense/thriller book. As soon as I saw the premise for His & Hers, I was intrigued. Almost halfway through, I thought I knew exactly where the story was headed. I thought I had it all figured out, but I was so wrong. There were several twists and surprises and I definitely did not expect the ending that I got. I thoroughly enjoyed it. At a time where it has been hard for me to find a book that not only interests me, but holds my interest from beginning to end, this story did exactly that. I've been struggling with finishing books and finding ones that I truly enjoy and I'm glad that I found His & Hers.

The two narrators did a great job of bringing their characters to life so to speak. It was very easy to get sucked into the story... into the suspense and mystery of it all. It had me guessing and on the edge of my seat all the way through. Those 10½ hours went by very quickly.

RATING: 4½ OUT OF 5.
