Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone
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
Fun and diverting, with a plethora of red herrings
Clever, satisfying, impossible to put down and gloriously inventive. It's fantastic.
Books like this are why we love reading
An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish...everything fans would hope for
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
This crackles on the page. Such an original voice
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
Benjamin Stevenson is rather like the illusionist Derren Brown, who deconstructs others’ magic tricks only to pull off brilliant ones of his own
