Arson, accident or murder?

After a fire rips through a North London tower block, two bodies are found locked in an eleventh-floor flat. But it is the third victim - the MP Geoff Armstrong - that requires the presence of detective Maeve Kerrigan and the murder squad.

It appears that Armstrong, trapped by the fire, chose to jump to his death rather than wait for rescue. But why? And what was the controversial right-wing politician doing there in the first place?

As Maeve picks through the wreckage, she will uncover a secret world where everyone has something to hide . . .

Reviews

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

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

Praise for Benjamin Stevenson

—— :

I absolutely loved it. Utterly original, hugely entertaining, and a must-read for every fan of the mystery genre. What an exceptionally fresh, smart, funny book - I've never read anything like this before.

—— Jane Harper

An ingenious and hilarious meta-murder mystery

—— Sunday Times

As fresh and zingy as a salted lime. It's Knives Out meets Richard Osman. Or Dexter by way of Agatha Christie. Or Schitt's Creek with a body count. It's also the most luxuriantly enjoyable novel I've read in years

—— A.J. Finn

The best thing I've read in ages. I absolutely loved it. Whip-smart, twisted, funny, and constructed with the pinpoint precision of a bloodthirsty watchmaker

—— Stuart MacBride

This book had me hooked from the first chapter. Deliciously funny, dark and intriguing

—— Alex Pavesi

This was such a clever, compelling read. It's a must for anyone who loves the rules of crime fiction, but it still packs plenty of twists. It had me laughing and turning the pages in equal measure. Bravo Mr Stevenson!

—— S.J. Bennett

Emerging dazed and somewhat brutalised after two intense days reading this utterly gripping, elegantly written 650-page plus thriller, I can say that it was most definitely worth the wait…Kane is a fantastic character: preternaturally brilliant and brave humble and insightful
