What Makes Rock Paper Scissors Special
Alice Feeney's fifth novel showcases her evolution as a master of misdirection. The title references both a childhood game and the constant power struggle in Adam and Amelia's marriage—each trying to outwit the other while concealing their own vulnerabilities. Feeney's background in television production shines through cinematic pacing and visual detail that translates beautifully to audio. The Scottish Highlands setting provides Gothic isolation reminiscent of classic British mysteries, while the modern marriage-in-crisis framework keeps the story grounded and relatable.
