Synopsis

***THETIMES CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH, FROM THE AUTHOR OF INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE***
'Brilliant, great fun. Takes the scenario of Murder on the Orient Express and plays it for laughs' THE TIMES, CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH

'Clever, satisfying, impossible to put down and gloriously inventive. It's fantastic' STUART TURTON

SIX WRITERS. FIVE DETECTIVES. FOUR DAYS. THREE WEAPONS. TWO MURDERS. ONE 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 . . .

But how do you catch a killer, when all your suspects know how to get away with murder?

Praise for Everyone On This Train Is A Suspect
'Sparkling with wit...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

'An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish...everything fans would hope for' JANE HARPER
