Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson

The follow-up to Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someonefinds Ernest Cunningham promoting his book at an Australian writer’s festival.

He can’t help but think that writing true crime is easier than fiction and hopes to find inspiration for his next book on this trip.

When one of the writers dies, Ernest is determined to find the killer.

Is it murder or just his overactive imagination and desire for a book plot?

Surely, writers who excel at writing murder mysteries can solve one?

But could they also get away with murder? These books are so fun in how the narrator breaks the fourth wall.

At the beginning of the book, he tells you the killer’s name will be mentioned 106 times (but this includes aliases).

Periodically he stops and tallies names that have been mentioned to keep you hooked and looking for the twist.

I love these little plot breaks and hope that Ernest has many more adventures!
