Rock Paper Scissors

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 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. Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget. Rock Paper Scissors is the latest exciting domestic thriller from the queen of the killer twist, New York Times bestselling author Alice Feeney.

A Novel

Marvelous maaZa

It’s a well written psychological thriller with a strong atmosphere and an interesting character setup. The isolated setting and the layered narration definitely create suspense, and there is one major twist that stands out and is executed very well. However, I personally expected a bit more from the story overall. The middle section felt slightly slow at times, and while the final reveal was clever, the rest of the book didn’t completely live up to the hype for me. Overall, it’s a good thriller ,engaging and atmospheric but not mind-blowing. Rating: 3.7/5

Listen books don’t normally give me the spookies but this one for sure did at times. This has been on my TBR for a while and now I’m wondering why I didn’t read it sooner. It was absolutely crazy and I audibly gasped at times. 110% read this one.

Horrible characters throughout, great twists at the end.

It was a good thriller book! Honestly, I was not into it until I got into halfway of the book lol it was worth it though! The plot twists made a lot of sense. I loved how it was revealed one by one.

Amelia wasn't the one writing the letters.. when that was revealed IT MADE A LOT OF SENSE... i was literally gaping my mouth because of the revelation

I really thought that Amelia was the one writing the letters and she SLEPT with Henry.. lol but girl it was Robin. And it was a favor as Henry's daughter my goodness.

Amelia was NOT the one who crashed to Adam's mom. It was ADAM holy shit but I think I was late to catch on the hint cos I was just thinking the nightmares were just out of his guilt because he let his mother walk his dog but BOY OH BOY... the guilt was because he caused his mother's death.... and he got relieved because Amelia also died and took the blame????? LIKE WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND GETS RELIEVED BY THAT. He's insane. Sick in the head.

Robin thinking the only right way to get rid of Amelia was to kill her???????? You are just like your father my goodness. You could've reported her to the police or I dont know???? What is the need to kill her honestly 😭

All this time, I truly believe Amelia was the victim. Amelia is a trouble child I get it but that's because of her traumatic childhood, she became guilty of a crime she did not directly commit, she was killed by her husband's ex wife, improperly buried and completely forgotten cos no one will look for her 😭 the one thing she did completely wrong was the cheating incident and also the DUI (indirectly). But all of these incidents are also Adam's fault but she was the only one blamed for it. What she did was completely mild compared to what Robin and Adam did like going back to their normal life after killing a woman (his husband's second wife and her ex best friend!) like it was nothing! Crazy. They are truly meant for each other

brilliant i literally never saw it coming with the twists

This book genuinely had me trying to read in between the lines. Once I was at the last 50 pages or so I found myself turning the pages back towards the beginning of the story to see what I missed and how I didn’t expect anything of that. And then after every chapter I couldn’t believe that there was still more information being revealed.

Complex, mysterious, insane, and I loved It! Multiple points of view shared from the characters and appreciated the end wrapping up most of the loose ends. Much enjoyed!

  4/5 🌟


I should have finished this book in just two days but I got distracted by another book and it took me almost a week to finish this.

I've come up with a lot of theories while reading this, but I'll be honest, I never saw those plot twists coming. I really had a WTF moment, especially in that first reveal, and it made me feel so manipulated by the author. It was like she made a fool out of me for making me believe something that is entirely not this whole time. That specific plot twist made me want to re-read it all over again. Some parts which I initially thought a bit confusing suddenly make much more sense after re-reading it knowing the truth. 

But I have to say, the consecutive plot twists is a bit too much for me. It was revelation after revelation after another revelation, all for the sake of shock factor. It became a bit excessive for me and even though the rest of the plot twists are unexpected, some came out so randomly. 

Still gave this a solid 4 stars because this really put me at the edge of my seat. The shock I've experienced with the first reveal might be the most enjoyable part of this book. It was a pretty good introductory read from this author and I will definitely pick up more of her books in the future.

It’s an okay thriller. I think it was supposed to be more of a horror/thriller and as someone who seriously has a fear of ghosts I found myself laughing a few times. The superstition, the replicated furniture, locked doors, typed notes, the whispering of names three times were probably supposed to add to the suspense but I just found these things laughable. 

I thought the idea of a MC having face blindness was rather intriguing but how could he not know who his father in law was in a marriage that lasted over a decade? 

There were twists and turns that took the story up a notch but I knew from the beginning that one of them would be murdered and one would be the murderer. It was just a matter of figuring out who would be who. 

It’s possible that the ending was too twisty making it feel haphazardly thrown together to tie it all up in the final hour. 

I do believe that if I gave this a reread I might have a greater appreciation for it knowing what I know now. I will do my best to give it another go when I find time.
