How do you catch a killer, when all your suspects know how to get away with murder? *PRE-ORDER NOW! AN INVENTIVE, HILARIOUS AND ORIGINAL NEW THRILLER FROM THE WRITER OF EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE, FOR FANS OF KNIVES OUT AND RICHARD OSMAN* 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...

'A sequel is an admission that you've been reduced to imitating yourself'
I loved Everyone in my Family Has Killed Someone, so I was excited to read the sequel - Everyone on this Train Is a Suspect. The book sees our protagonist from the first book attend a writer's festival on a moving train (think Orient Express,) as he tries to come up with an idea for his second book. However, when a dead body is discovered, Ernest might have more inspiration than he was hoping for!
I enjoy the humour and wit in Benjamin Stevenson's writing and this book certainly has the same charm as the original. There's also a similar convention as the first book which highlighted the page numbers of certain events - this one has to do with how many times the murderers name is mentioned. It's certainly clever and keeps the reader engaged with the story, as well as adding a 'meta' type element to the read.
The ending is also very clever, and all of the threads came together to make for a high impact conclusion. However, I didn't find the pace of the rest of the book as quick as the first book and some bits did drag in places.
Overall, Everyone on this Train is a Suspect is a fun and clever read and I'm very excited to see what Ernest will get up to in his quest to write his third novel. Thank you to NetGalley & Penguin Random House - Michael Joseph for the chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
