Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect

A Novel

By: Benjamin Stevenson

Narrated by: Barton Welch, Megan Smart

From the bestselling author of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone, a fiendishly fun locked room (train) murder mystery in the spirit 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?

Slightly convoluted

I loved his book "Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone " but this one got a little confusing. I found it harder to track the characters and the story line got pretty tangly at the end.

Only finished because I used a credit

This book was not for me. Too many characters that were just hard to keep straight.

Outstanding!

I loved this so much! I finished in one sitting. My only sorrow is I will now have to wait a year or more for the next one. Please let there be a next one. Don’t miss it! Benjamin Stevens is the master of our time.

Such Clever Fun

This keeps you guessing! It’s a fantastically fun and unique premise and I enjoyed this immensely

the characters, are well developed

This well paced murder mystery provides just enough information to stay engaged, but not too much to spoil the ending. looking forward to the next one!
