READ THE INVENTIVE, HILARIOUS AND ORIGINAL THRILLER FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE
How do you catch a killer, when all your suspects know how to get away with murder?
'The best thing I've read in ages' STUART MACBRIDE
'I absolutely LOVED it. Engaging, entertaining and charming' MARIAN KEYES
----
When the Australian Mystery Writers' Society invites six authors to a festival aboard the Ghan - the famous Darwin to Adelaide train - it's a who's who of crime writing royalty. And me! (The lowly debut author.)
But when one of us is murdered, six authors must become five detectives. This should be easy. Aren't we all experts in whodunnits?
Unfortunately, that also makes us experts in how to commit murder. And, when there's been one, another's sure to follow.
Someone has to solve the case. But can I really outsmart the experts, and catch the killer?

'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
'Utterly original, hugely entertaining, and a must-read for every fan of the mystery genre' JANE HARPER
'Clever, unexpected, and not to be missed' KARIN SLAUGHTER
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 * The Times, Crime Book of the Month *
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 -- Nita Prose
Fun and diverting, with a plethora of red herrings * New York Times *
Clever, satisfying, impossible to put down and gloriously inventive. It's fantastic. Books like this are why we love reading -- Stuart Turton
An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish...everything fans would hope for -- Jane Harper
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 * Mail On Sunday *
This crackles on the page. Such an original voice -- Jane Fallon
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 * Crime Time Book of the Month *
Benjamin Stevenson is rather like the illusionist Derren Brown, who deconstructs others' magic tricks only to pull off brilliant ones of his own * The Times *
