 Finished: His and Hers (Feeney) A page-turning whodunnit told in alternating chapters from the viewpoint of Anna, a reporter who lives in London and has been subbing for the anchor at her BBC station for the last two years, and the viewpoint of Jack, a detective who has gone back to his small hometown in England after a divorce two years prior. Oh, and Anna is Jack's ex-wife. They were happily married with a three month old daughter when they lost her to a tragic "cot death" while Anna's mother was babysitting. Their marriage could not survive the tragedy. When a woman is murdered in Jack's hometown, which, of course, turns out to also be Anna's hometown the story turns into a wild ride as we hear everything from their two viewpoints and as they both at one point or another become suspects. When another woman turns up dead, we begin to hear about the history between all the characters going back to high school, and it's a doozy. Oh, did I tell you that in the midst of the His and Hers chapters we also have chapters from the killer's viewpoint? We just don't know who that killer is until the very end! So many twists and turns in this book. I loved it and will say no more about it to avoid spoilers. :-)
