About the Book

***THE TIMES CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH, FROM THE AUTHOR OF INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE*** 'Brilliant, great fun. Takes the scenario of Murder on the Orient Express and plays it for laughs' THE TIMES, CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH 'Clever, satisfying, impossible to put down and gloriously inventive. It's fantastic' STUART TURTON SIX WRITERS. FIVE DETECTIVES. FOUR DAYS. THREE WEAPONS. TWO MURDERS. ONE TRAIN . . . 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 . . . But how do you catch a killer, when all your suspects know how to get away with murder? Praise for Everyone On This Train Is A Suspect 'Sparkling with wit...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' NITA PROSE 'An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish...everything fans would hope for' JANE HARPER Why readers LOVE Everyone On This Train Is A Suspect 'A perfect choice for anyone who enjoys witty thrillers' 5***** reader review 'I cannot recommend it more highly' 5***** reader review 'Absolutely wonderful - a must read for crime writing fans' 5***** reader review 'Amusing, engaging and impressive' 5***** reader review 'Will hook you in, keep you engaged and will make you want to read MORE!' 5***** reader review 'You will be in for twists and turns that will leave you guessing until the very end. I didn't have a clue whodunnit!' 5***** reader review

Review :
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 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 Clever, satisfying, impossible to put down and gloriously inventive. It's fantastic. Books like this are why we love reading An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish...everything fans would hope for 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 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 Benjamin Stevenson is rather like the illusionist Derren Brown, who deconstructs others’ magic tricks only to pull off brilliant ones of his own Praise for Benjamin Stevenson I absolutely loved it. Utterly original, hugely entertaining, and a must-read for every fan of the mystery genre. What an exceptionally fresh, smart, funny book - I've never read anything like this before. An ingenious and hilarious meta-murder mystery As fresh and zingy as a salted lime. It's Knives Out meets Richard Osman. Or Dexter by way of Agatha Christie. Or Schitt's Creek with a body count. It's also the most luxuriantly enjoyable novel I've read in years The best thing I've read in ages. I absolutely loved it. Whip-smart, twisted, funny, and constructed with the pinpoint precision of a bloodthirsty watchmaker This book had me hooked from the first chapter. Deliciously funny, dark and intriguing This was such a clever, compelling read. It's a must for anyone who loves the rules of crime fiction, but it still packs plenty of twists. It had me laughing and turning the pages in equal measure. Bravo Mr Stevenson!
