Summary
The instant New York Times best seller from the author of Sometimes I Lie.
Ten years of marriage.
Ten years of secrets.
An anniversary they’ll never forget.
Adam and Amelia are spending the weekend in the Scottish Highlands. The remote location is perfect for what they have planned.
But when their romantic trip takes a dark turn, they both start to wonder - can they trust the one they’re with?
Because every couple tells little white lies. Only for Adam and Amelia, the truth is far more dangerous.
Critic reviews
"Chilling and clever, with a twist so sharp you’ll get whiplash. Rock Paper Scissors is the kind of blistering one-sit read that Alice Feeney is just so incredibly good at." (Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End)
"Deliciously dark.... An exquisitely constructed, hugely entertaining thriller.... I loved it." (Catherine Ryan Howard, author of The Nothing Man)
"A perfectly-plotted thriller that hooked me from the opening scene.... A scissor-sharp portrayal of a marriage on the rocks. Atmospheric, entertaining and clever." (Philippa East, author of Safe and Sound)
"Not just fiendish but positively Feeneyish - dark, ingenious and very clever." (Cara Hunter, author of Close to Home)
"A cleverly crafted novel with a grand twist." (Stella magazine)

Kept Me Guessing
Fabulous narrators - Stephanie Racine and Richard Armitage. A book to rival His & Hers but more twists, more detail, just more of everything I love about Alice Feeney. I knocked off one star because I felt like it could have done with a bigger, more jaw dropping, final twist...I wanted a little more of an OMG moment.

Couldn’t get on with it
I really wanted to love this book as I loved Alice Feeney’s first novel so much. But I just couldn’t get on with this. The male voice was really annoying, I think I would’ve got a better feel for this book if I’d have read it rather than listened as I just kept getting irritated every time it was the male chapters. The twist would’ve been good if I had been invested but to be honest it was just a bit underwhelming.

Enjoyable with inconsistencies
I enjoyed listening to the book and hasn’t predicted the ending. However there were a few inconsistencies that I felt weren’t explained and didn’t really make sense with the rest of the story!

Brilliant
Twisty. Loved it. Narration was great, the performances were excellent. The only criticism is it rambled on a bit and was a little frustrating in parts. Other than that a good listen.

Rock Paper Scissors
This was an enjoyable book and one that I would recommend to fans of twisty thrillers. I am perplexed by the criticism that several reviewers have left regarding Stephanie Racine’s narration, I though she was fantastic and gave a real stand out performance. Maybe it’s a British accent thing? Anyway, don’t be put off by that, both narrators do a great job

Very long & unengaging - terrible female narrator
This starts off quite well, although by a third of the way through I was starting to clock-watch. The twist is quite clever, but there's zero suspense because of the way the plot unfolds. None of the characters is likable so it's hard to care what happens to them. Richard Armitage is great as usual, but Stephanie Racine narrates like she's in a school play.

A Circular Storyline.
The children’s game is not as demanding as the life of the characters in this deeply distracting narrative.

Kept me in suspense!
Loved this book. I don’t normally listen to thrillers, but it was recommended by a friend. Will certainly be adding more to my library.

Thrilling and Creepy With A Killer Twist
🧡 A married couple spending the weekend in a remote house in the Scottish Highlands. If you think it sounds like the start of a horror film, you’re not far off. This is equal parts horror and thriller.
💚 There is a brilliant balance of a solid backstory of Adam and Amelia’s marriage on one hand and the sheer sinister creepiness of their current predicament. How did they get to that point? What changed? And what was rotten all along? Wanting answers to these questions drove me on.
💛 The twist is a bonus cherry on top of it all. It is so clever, so unexpected. And yet it hangs well with the rest of the story.
💜 I loved my first Alice Feeny listen, Sometimes I Lie and this was every bit as phenomenal. I’ve added His & Hers to my TBR.

SOUNDBITE
🎧 Stephanie Racine and Richard Armitage are simply brilliant narrators. Expressive and authentic to my ears. Many reviewers were fairly critical of Racine’s performance. So I went back to check if I had missed something. I remain at a loss. Best thing to do is listen to the sample before buying. But if you've listened to other Alice Feeney books, you'll be familiar with Racine's work.
🎧 This is a full on listen that requires close attention. Lots of moving parts, characters and plot points you could miss if you drift off.
