This Story Might Save Your Life

Picture this: a rainy afternoon, the ocean churning just beyond the footbridge, and a thriller in your hands that simply refuses to be put down. We found one.

Best friends Benny and Joy like to say they’ve been saving each other’s lives since the moment they met. Together, they host one of the most beloved podcasts in the world, where each week they uncover the strange, life-affirming humor in “against all odds” survival stories. They’re the best friends everyone wishes they had. Until the morning Joy disappears, the house is left shattered and empty, and Benny becomes the prime suspect in her murder.

The only clue? An incomplete, never-before-seen draft of Joy’s memoir. As the hours slip away, it becomes painfully clear that millions of devoted listeners never really knew the “real” Benny and Joy at all, and the secrets these famous BFFs kept from the world (and from each other) are darker than anyone could imagine.

The critics agree this one’s special:

• “Both a riveting mystery and a love story… one of the best thrillers I’ve read this year.” —Amy Tintera, bestselling author of Listen for the Lie
• “A heart-pounding thriller and a heart-melting romance, this is the most compelling novel I’ve read in years.” —Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author of It’s a Love Story
• “The pages practically turn themselves… I couldn’t put it down!” —Nina Simon, bestselling author of Mother-Daughter Murder Night

Part mystery, part love story, all heart. Come linger a while and let this one find you.
