Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect

By Benjamin Stevenson
Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From the bestselling author of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone, a fiendishly fun locked room (train) murder mystery in the spirt of Murder on the Orient Express. With Ernest Cunningham, “Stevenson has brought a modern-day Poirot to the mystery scene”(Michelle Carpenter).

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, the remaining authors quickly turn into five detectives. Together, we should know how to solve a crime.

Of course, we should also know how to commit one.

How can you find a killer when all the suspects know how to get away with murder?

Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect Reviews

3.5
“god these books are just SO FUN! i love a whodunit. i love that it’s meta and it makes fun of authors and the mystery genre as a whole. ernest is such a funny narrator and the mystery is so complex and well thought out. i truly had no idea but i was along for the ride. i semi-guessed a few things but wow ernest was locked IN for this book. i think i liked it better than the first one, it was more fun to me. fav book of the year so far these books are so cool. PLUS this one was so #feminism #womensrights #girlboss i really appreciated how ernest became an ally to women in writing/publishing in this book”
“Light hearted existentialism?? I think that’s how I would describe Ernest a lot of the time in the story. Very good imagery throughout the story. Royce was AWFUL! Crazy how events across the map and time cross over together to become part of a single story. Very well done!”
