Publisher's Summary

Rock Paper Scissors is the latest exciting domestic thriller from the queen of the killer twist, New York Times best-selling author Alice Feeney.

Think you know the person you married? Think again....

Things have been wrong with Mr. and Mrs. Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife.

Every anniversary the couple exchanges traditional gifts - paper, cotton, pottery, tin - and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after.

Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget.

Better by audiobook than physical book, a must listen

Firstly, thank you for having both a male and female read this novel, it completely transforms the book to really make you believe in the characters and feel as if you are there. The British accents are lovely to listen to and easy to get wrapped up in.

Rock, Paper, Scissors is intelligent and has many layers to the plot. The author plays fair with the reader and leaves clues along the way, don’t get caught up in the red herrings if you can even spot them. The author isn’t afraid to work with different literary devices such as the unreliable narrator and different points of view including, past tense, present tense, first person and third person. The book is written with so many beautiful, poetic sentences; Feeney truly has a way with words that is captivating and magical. I really didn’t expect to fall in love with both the novel and author as much as I did.

Another amazing thriller by Feeney

This was FANTASTIC. Loved every second of it. The changes of perspectives and time keeps you on your toes and unsure of where the story is going, but every twist and turn makes perfect sense and feels so cohesive. I will be listening to His and Hers by this author next and I look forward to more great performances by these two narrators. Couldn’t recommend this enough

Oh my goodness

Unexpected, a thrilling dramatic build-up that ends with the biggest plot twist I’ve ever read.

Meh. Made me sigh

I mean the twist is quite obvious and the characters are generic and un-likeable..

Lots unexpected twist & turns - a good read

Not sure why so many readers gave this book such low ratings...yes, there was lots of unexpected twist & turns but I didn't think they were a stretch...You read a thriller fiction to escape reality...that's why fiction is...thought the performances were great.

Meh

It was ok I guess. But very unlikely and impossible to buy into. Characters changed far to much to be believable.
Plus.. if what she wanted was her husband back all the while. Well, he told her he wanted to fix it and stay married. But she left. All she had to do was call him or come back and she could have had her marriage back without all the silliness.
