Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect
Benjamin Stevenson


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?

I'm in as soon as it comes in from the library- not supposed to be a long wait.

I'm on the hunt for this one too, Bonnie.

I recently finished this book, and I enjoyed it as much as the first.

still waiting- my library apparently underestimated wait times.

Ugh. That's a tough thing about libraries: if they don't have the book when I'm in the mood to read it, will I still be in the mood when they finally do?

especially if I wanted to read it with a book group a certain month

Finally got this book in. Started yesterday.

Really enjoying this one so far- planning to read his first book now too.

Finished and well worth reading. Unique and thought provoking. I did find it dragged a bit towards the end, but satisfying conclusion.

I'm about to start Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone for a book club, so I won't read this one for awhile. Still interested in reading everyone's comments about this one though.

Yeah, I put the first one on hold when I started this one and realized it was a sequel. It stood alone well though (luckily as I still don't have the first in.
