“Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect” by Benjamin Stevenson

About Blog Post Mar 12, 2024 by SCLSNJ Staff
“Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect” by Benjamin Stevenson Review by Yvonne Selander, collection development librarian Ernest Cunningham is thrilled to be invited to a crime-writing festival aboard the Ghan, a luxury train running across the remote Australian outback. His fellow Australian Mystery Writers’ Society panelists are all experienced authors, one is even considered a master of the genre, while Ernest is a debut novelist who got most of his inspiration from his family tragedy at a now closed ski resort. (See: “Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone” for details.) Ernest is getting concerned that he can’t write without real world inspiration. Maybe someone will drop dead on the train? That would be a great setting for a mystery… And then, someone does just that. An homage to famous authors and author stereotypes, this is a whodunnit that will keep the reader flummoxed alongside Ernest. No one is as they seem and secrets become revealed with each passing mile. Fans of the classic mysteries of old will love the elimination of the internet because Google doesn’t happen in the outback. We see the action unfold through Ernest’s eyes so put your sleuthing to the test and see how you do! Can you solve the murder before him?
