Many thanks to NetGalley, Flatiron Books | Pine & Cedar, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of this wonderful debut novel by Tiffany Crum, narrated by the fabulous duo of Julia Whelan and Sean Patrick Hopkins. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Best friends Benny Abbott and Joy Moore host a very popular podcast about surviving, finding humor in near-death experiences. Joy's husband, Xander, is their manager. However, the next survival story may be their own. When Benny arrives at Joy and Xander's house to record, he finds shattered glass and an empty house. Benny will stop at nothing to find them, even as the police zero in on him as their prime suspect.
This was a fabulous debut and just a wonderful listening experience. The narrators are top notch, of course, and the sound effects just totally immersed me into the story. This book has it all - mystery, suspense, romance - and it kept me guessing until the end. Told from Joy's POV before and Benny's POV afterwards, the podcast is a major character and there are plenty of other shady characters as well. I truly felt invested in this story and characters, and it's a true testament to friendship. Plus - extra points for all the Happy Days references! Bravo to all involved for a fabulous debut!
