How do you catch a killer, when all your suspects know how to get away with murder?
*PRE-ORDER NOW! THE HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED FOLLOW-UP TO 2022'S MOST ORIGINAL MURDER MYSTERY, EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE*
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...

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

—— S.J. BennettEmerging 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
