Everyone On This Train Is A Suspect [Pehme köide]

Brilliant, great fun. Takes the scenario of Murder on the Orient Express and plays it for laughs. A more accomplished performance [ than] Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone * The Times, Crime Book of the Month * 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 Fun and diverting, with a plethora of red herrings * New York Times * Clever, satisfying, impossible to put down and gloriously inventive. It's fantastic. Books like this are why we love reading -- Stuart Turton An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish...everything fans would hope for -- Jane Harper Tricksy riffs on Golden Age mysteries seem to be in vogue, but no one does them with such gleeful elan as Stevenson...Stevenson's background as a literary agent doubtless helped him fashion this fiendishly plotted Murder On The Orient Express update * Mail On Sunday * This crackles on the page. Such an original voice -- Jane Fallon Laugh-out loud, irreverent, madly ingenious, full of twists and an avalanche of red herrings and wonderful characters let loose in a setting obviously inspired by both Agatha Christie and, with a nod to John Dickson Carr and others, a locked train mystery to boot. Stevenson succeeds magnificently in bringing Golden Age tropes to glorious life but also shows a deep affection for the rules and traditions of the genre, and his unique blend of satire, thrills, and glittering characterisation rings all the bells and more. A sheer delight and if there is any justice, a most-deserving multi future award winner * Crime Time Book of the Month * Benjamin Stevenson is rather like the illusionist Derren Brown, who deconstructs others magic tricks only to pull off brilliant ones of his own * The Times * Praise for Benjamin Stevenson -- :
