Publisher's Summary
6 WRITERS. 5 DETECTIVES. 4 DAYS. 3 WEAPONS. 2 MURDERS. 1 TRAIN...
'An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish . . . everything fans would hope for.' JANE HARPER
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?
'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
'Clever, satisfying, impossible to put down and gloriously inventive. It's fantastic. Books like this are why we love reading.' STUART TURTON
A wild and wonderful ride . . . I laughed out loud.' HAYLEY SCRIVENOR
'Crazily good crime fiction. Don't miss this train!' CANDICE FOX

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!!

Exceptionally clever, enjoyable and funny
Loved it. Fellow writers will have laugh out loud moments, with an intriguing mystery underneath the observations on second book blues, writer festivals and publishing, all set against the beautifully described landscape of The Ghan rail journey. The narration brings the characters to life. Until they're dead, anyway.

Yes to Ernest, no to the narration.
Once again Benjamin Stevenson injects his wit and 4th wall breaking narrative style - giving us more Ernest, on one of the most iconic trains in Australia.
Unfortunately, the narration leaves a lot to be desired. The reading was lacking emotion during suspense scenes, and the constant audible sniffing/inhaling was really off putting. It should have been filtered out during recording, or edited out in post production. I had to switch to the Kindle edition because I couldn’t enjoy the story.

It had potential but the explanations kill it
The story is decent but the continuous notes on how these books are written kills the flow. It’s just getting interesting then bam! Time to mention on the name count or what common mistakes authors make. It takes away from the story.
I forgot clues that were spoken about in the unveiling of the killers because of the story was so stop start.

Not making it through
Not up to the fun of the last one. And I shudder every time the narrator mispronounces The Ghan. Producer should have checked this! The book even says it’s shortened from Afghan!

Even better than the first!
As far as sequels go, this is brilliant. I finished this in less than a day it had me so hooked from the get go. Such a unique and fresh way of storytelling. Keen for the next!

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!
