Rock Paper Scissors: The gripping, twisty psychological suspense thriller and instant New York Times bestseller from the author of the Number 1 Netflix smash hit, His and Hers

Rock Paper Scissors is one of those thrillers that completely pulls you in and doesn’t let go. I absolutely loved this book and tore through it in no time. The setting plays a huge role—the icy cold, snowbound atmosphere feels claustrophobic and unsettling, perfectly mirroring the tension simmering beneath the surface. Alice Feeney uses multiple points of view to great effect, gradually layering the story and keeping you constantly reassessing what you think you know. The pacing is sharp, with short chapters that make it dangerously easy to keep reading “just one more.” What truly elevates the novel, though, is the twist—clever, shocking, and deeply satisfying without feeling gimmicky. The subtle hint of paranormal spookiness adds an eerie edge, heightening the mystery rather than overpowering it. Smart, atmospheric, and brilliantly plotted, this is a standout psychological thriller that fully earns its five stars.

🪨📃✂️ Rock Paper Scissors ✂️📃🪨 "Why do people only learn to live in the moment when the moment has passed." 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 exchange 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. I was thinking that this has the potential to be one of the best thrillers I have read till date and I guessed it right. The characters were quite interesting and had a very strong persona which made the story more engrossing as I was always on the edge thinking who is believable and who isn't. The story as a whole was written perfectly as it did leave me with few questions which shows that the author knew the importance of not giving all the answers to the reader by the end and leaving them with something to ponder over. So yeah I am going to ponder over a few things in the coming days and this story is going to take up a large portion of my thinking time for a few days. Also this book can be a great read if you want to come out of a reading slump because the length of the chapters are quite short and also won't take much of your time and energy if you try to finish it quickly.

♥️When Adam and Amelia try to save their marriage life embarks on a journey to Scotland. Where the secrets and past unravel slowly finding answers.

I loved the characters and the way it took me too deep and loved the way the background setting and plot development.The suspense is neatly placed and the depth of humans thoughts and manipulation where exactly to score and much more addictive.Really satisfied as I couldn’t guess the ending. ♥️MY FAVOURITE LINES: 💕“Affection is like playing the piano and you can forget how to do it without practice.” 💕“Some people say that marriage is like wine and gets better with age, but I guess it all depends on the grapes.” 💕“Secrets are only secrets for the people who don’t know them. They can morph into lies when shared, and like caterpillars turning into butterflies, beautiful lies can fly far, far away.” 😍A must read novel will sit on the edge of the seat, dark and thrilling. Highly recommended for those who love psychological thrillers with suspense 😍 The purchase was smooth and book was in good condition

This one’s a masterclass in thrillers — easily top five material. Starts calm, ends with your heart doing cartwheels. The plot twists? Sneaky geniuses. Brilliantly written. You’ll gasp, you’ll flip pages like your life depends on it, and before you know it — finished in one sitting.

I felt the story dint develop for over 200 pages. It said there are secrets but none was mentioned until in the last 60-70 pages. Writing style is very good though But not a kind of book that would stay with you for long!!

This book fully lives up to the online hype. The story was so good that I stayed glued to my Kindle for a day and a half straight. Unlike many stories that take time to build, this one captures your interest from the very first chapter.

4.6/5 Now that's what I call a thriller. I loved it. The ending truly gave me a heart attack. Superb story. Though the pacing is bit slow, but the thrilling elements are right on point. This is my first Alice Feeney book, will be reading more books from her. Go for it.. 👍🏻

I have to start by saying, this was my first book of Feeney, and I cant wait to read more of her books. What a flipping, fabulous thriller! Adam and Amelia take a holiday to their favourite destination, Scotland. A final attempt to save their marriage. Everything works out when Amelia wins a raffle ticket to an old Chapel - turned home. There is a storm, thick layers of snow and a Loch. The Old Chapel seems completely abandoned and isolated, except for a lone cottage not too far. With frozen taps, eerie windows, haunted attic and bell on the roof, it doesn't seem like the most romantic getaway. Will they be able to salvage their marriage? Why does it seem like something more sinister is at play? The narrative alternates between two timelines, that keeps the suspense sizzling. Each character is layered with secrets and ulterior motives. Each chapter ends with a razor sharp cliffhanger. Nothing seems as it is! I couldn't stop flipping the pages to see where the story will take me. Ms. Feeney writes with finesse be it emotional dialogues or the haunting church. She seems to be an ardent fan of 'Stephen King'. There is not a page of dullness in the novel. A truly enjoyable, inspiring read this one. I kept grinning ear to ear and whispered to myself, bring on the twists! For all those who love a good psychological thriller, don't miss this one.
