His & Hers

Considering this isn't often regarded as Alice Feeney's strongest work, I was incredibly impressed. This had a cast of characters who were all unreliable and anyone of them could have been the Blackdown murderer. I had a few people I thought it could be but the final reveal of the murderer was a surprise to me. This was sharp and propulsive and while it follows young teenage girls and the repercussions of their actions when they were 16 into adulthood. It was so much more interesting than it sounds and I couldn't stop flipping pages. However I will warn people that there are some gritty and dark places explored in this book. Some physical and psychological cruelties played out, I wasn't expecting and some people might find distressing. However it added a grittier level to the thriller plot line that I found intriguing to read about.
