My ranking: B+
Speak about a whirlwind of a guide! His & Hers is full of twists and thriller and loads of page-turning intrigue that lasts proper up till the very finish. It’s a homicide thriller that left me clueless in regards to the identification of the assassin for the vasty majority of the guide which solely served to extend my curiosity. Whereas I noticed the main twist coming it didn’t make the guide any much less satisfying and it’s a novel I’d advocate to anybody who loves a very good thriller.
