Benjamin Stevenson for Harry Hartog, ANU

Join us for a night of mystery and intrigue with Benjamin Stevenson who will be in conversation with Jack Heath on the eagerly awaited follow-up to his international bestseller 'Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone'- 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect'.

About the Book

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?

'Clever, unexpected, and not to be missed.' Karin Slaughter

'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
