PRE-ORDER NOW THE EAGERLY AWAITED FOLLOW-UP TO THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE.
Ernest Cunningham returns in a deliciously witty locked room (train) mystery.
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.
How can you find a killer when all the suspects know how to get away with murder?

Benjamin Stevenson returns with Everyone On This Train Is A Suspect, a novel that stands both on it's own feet as well as on the building blocks of his first novel. Stevenson conversationally satirises the crime genre and authors in equal measure through a glorious “whodunnit” that gives you all the information you need to solve it and will still subvert your train of thought with every page turn. - Hazel (QBD)
