Publisher's Summary
6 WRITERS. 5 DETECTIVES. 4 DAYS. 3 WEAPONS. 2 MURDERS. 1 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.
How can you find a killer when all the suspects know how to get away with murder?
Critic Reviews
'An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish...everything fans would hope for.' JANE HARPER
'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, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid and The Mystery Guest

Pandering ruins the fun
Perhaps just not my cup of tea as it’s a popular one!
the bones of a fun whodunnit but the constant interruptions for over explanation of how murder mystery books work took me out of it and ruined the fun and magic of letting it all come together in my mind naturally, which usually make this style of book so great. It’s like going to a magic show where the magician tells you how he does it while doing the trick while simultaneously berating you for being too stupid to catch it. Just let the story happen!!

Hard to review
A hard book to review - you will know what I mean when you read it. A good book but nothing compared to his previous novel.

Pretty Good
Very readable. Benjamin Stevenson has done it again! A delightful romp on the Ghan, running from Darwin to Adelaide. And a lot can happen in that time. A shame that more “Americanisms” are peppered throughout (no doubt due to some editorial decision, meaning “universal appeal”) ; which is a real shame, as the Australian Voice comes through, and an international audience is surely smart enough to use a thesaurus or dictionary to look up words such as, “bin”, “petrol”, etc.
The male narrator has trouble doing female voices. As they all sound the same, and not even close to a woman’s voice!

My favourite living author!
Benjamin Stevenson has a brilliant and unique style of writing. He also has a delightfully twisted sense of humour.
I really enjoyed the narration and I highly recommend this book.

Murder on the train
Not a bad book. Probably a little bit better than his first book, about the same level of intrigue and mystery, and nothing gripping me too much, but I did get through it.

to complicated it was better when he wasn't over talking, very good plot, however the Ghan is stationed at East Arm, not Berrimah
