'An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish . . . everything fans would hope for.' JANE HARPER ----------------------------------------------------------- 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. How can you find a killer when all the suspects know how to get away with murder?
Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone is a fiendishly clever mystery that will keep your book club guessing and introduces a family of characters brilliant for discussion.
Benjamin Stevenson talks to us about his new must-have mystery and his friend's odd act that inspired his book.
The Cunninghams don't really get along, and every one of them has killed someone. Meet the family to help you find the culprit.
