Bookseller recommendation

“Written with a clever plot and a generous serving of humor.”

— Deon • Sunriver Books & Music

Bookseller recommendation

“Overall, I really liked this book! I enjoyed how the narrator is the voice of the author and how as the reader you are solving the murder along with the rest of the train passengers. I have not read Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone, but I have been told it is similar in style, so I am excited to read that. If you are looking for a fun mystery that really makes you feel like you are one of the characters, this book is for you!”

— Dani • Bright Side Bookshop

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

How do you catch a killer, when all your suspects know how to get away with murder?

THE HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED FOLLOW-UP TO 2022'S MOST ORIGINAL MURDER MYSTERY, EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE

When the Australian Mystery Writers' Society invited me to their crime-writing festival aboard the Ghan, the famous train between Darwin and Adelaide, I was hoping for some inspiration for my second book. Fiction, this time: I needed a break from real people killing each other. Obviously, that didn't pan out.

The program is a who's who of crime writing royalty:

the debut writer (me!)
the forensic science writer
the blockbuster writer
the legal thriller writer
the literary writer
the psychological suspense writer.

But when one of us is murdered, six authors quickly turn into five detectives. Together, we should know how to solve a crime.

Or commit one...

Reviews

Tricksy riffs on Golden Age mysteries seem to be in vogue, but no one does them with such gleeful elan as Stevenson...Stevenson's background as a literary agent doubtless helped him fashion this fiendishly plotted Murder On The Orient Express update This crackles on the page. Such an original voice Benjamin Stevenson is rather like the illusionist Derren Brown, who deconstructs others’ magic tricks only to pull off brilliant ones of his own An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish...everything fans would hope for Praise for Benjamin Stevenson Sparkling with wit and witticisms about the world of writers and writing, Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect offers a tip of the hat to the great Agatha Christie novel while at the same time being a modern reinvention of it. Leave it to Stevenson to make high-jinx and murder deviously good fun Fun and diverting, with a plethora of red herrings Brilliant, great fun. Takes the scenario of Murder on the Orient Express and plays it for laughs. A more accomplished performance [than] Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone Clever, satisfying, impossible to put down and gloriously inventive. It's fantastic. Books like this are why we love reading Laugh-out loud, irreverent, madly ingenious, full of twists and an avalanche of red herrings and wonderful characters let loose in a setting obviously inspired by both Agatha Christie and, with a nod to John Dickson Carr and others, a locked train mystery to boot. Stevenson succeeds magnificently in bringing Golden Age tropes to glorious life but also shows a deep affection for the rules and traditions of the genre, and his unique blend of satire, thrills, and glittering characterisation rings all the bells and more. A sheer delight and if there is any justice, a most-deserving multi future award winner Expand reviews
