Benny and Joy like to say that they've been saving each other since the moment they met.
Until the day Joy disappears and Benny is accused of her murder.
Best friends Benny and Joy host a beloved 'comedy survival' podcast, gleefully finding life-affirming humour in near-death experiences.
When Benny arrives at Joy and her husband's home one morning to record, he finds shattered glass and an empty house.
With Joy missing and the hours ticking by, not even their most devoted fans could guess the terrible secrets they have hidden from the world - and from each other.
If Benny wants to find Joy in time, and clear his own name, he'll have to solve the highest stakes survival story yet.

This Story Might Save Your Life is a gripping, unique debut you won't want to miss. It's a meticulously plotted mystery wrapped up in a tender love story, a book that is as funny as it is sad; hugely uplifting, but unflinching when it comes to the darkness at the heart of some people. Joy and Benny's story of survival will stay with me for a long time

A compelling story, well narrated. (The volume seemed to go up and down a fair bit however, hence the 4 stars for narration.)
