From the bestselling author of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone, a fiendishly fun locked room (train) murder mystery that "offers a tip of the hat to the great Agatha Christie novel while at the same time being a modern reinvention of it" (Nita Prose) -- perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Anthony Horowitz 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.

  • A clever whodunit
A clever murder mystery set on a train that is also the location for a convention of mystery writers. Though the group of writers is small—just six—the assortment of personalities (and sub-genre specialties) creates more than a few clashes. The narrator, Ernest, is a debut writer with a nonfiction bestseller under his belt. That story was told in the first book in this series, “Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone.” I didn’t read that book one but had no problem following along and picking up the pieces with this one. It's very cleverly done. Fun, too. Ernest has been told by his agent he needs to produce a novel, but he has no clue how to write fiction. He’s struggling with writer’s block, hoping to get inspiration being among other writers and the few fans that are aboard the train. Then the first murder occurs, and Ernest (along with all the other writers of whodunits) attempt to figure out who’s responsible. Keep in mind all these people research murders, write about murders, and plot murders. It’s quite an escapade, and Ernest is a great narrator, weaving humor amid his speculations and puzzle-solving. The untangling of plot threads at the end is brilliantly done and far more intricate than I expected. I read a lot of mysteries, but never guessed the killer in this one. I’m already looking forward to the next romp with “Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret,” and have pre-ordered my copy. ... show more

  • Steps up to the challenge of “second book syndrome”.
Ernest is struggling with survivor guilt and writers block. He hopes an invite to a crime writers festival, on a 4-day train journey across Australia, will provide inspiration. And it does; though, to give him his due, not in the way Ernest would wish for. As the train hurtles onwards we learn about the world of crime writing, the challenges facing (new) authors, and the corruption that follows (some of) the entitled and powerful. We get to see Ed and Juliette’s relationship develop. And then there are the secrets, betrayals, and of course, deaths. And a very neat twist at the end. Ernest gets a second book out of it, and I had another fun time reading it. ... show more

  • Entertaining, but not Compelling
I wanted to love this book. Fun premise, quirky characters, old school setting. But I just, didn’t. It was slow to get into, and the sarcasm (don’t get me wrong, I love sarcasm) just wore a little on me. The characters were all fine, bit I didn’t find myself rooting for any of them, either to be the killer or not. About halfway through I finally felt myself grabbed by the plot, and it had a pretty satisfying ending. Overall, funny and light. ... show more

  • another fast paced mystery
After having listened to everyone in my family has killed someone via audiobook, and realizing that kind of muddled the story for me, I decided to give this one a try in print. And I’m glad I did! The map of the train and the list of writing guests was helpful to flip back to. Again, this was well written with a comedic undertone, which I very much appreciate. I really liked the setting and how the characters fit together. I knocked it down on the star for the very strange way that the climax occurred. Without giving too many spoilers, it felt far-fetched and unfair and confusing… regardless , I did not have it figured. out. I intend to read the third book. The author is publishing soon as well. ... show more

  • Fun read
Loved the story, and the setting. Great mix of people, each with an agenda. Or not. Keep the books coming.

  • ok
Some of the story was a bit over the top for humorous effect and it dragged about two thirds of the way thru but in general was a good light read.

  • Pretty good - just not as good as the first
I loved “Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone.” By contrast, Train was just okay. Definitely picked up in the second half. Way too obsessed with trying to pull off the guise of the fictional writer’s perspective on writing nonfiction. Still, sounds like Stevenson has a third one coming out and I plan to give it a try. ... show more
