A train journey . . . A dead body . . . And suspects who share one thing in common - how to get away with murder. Praise for EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE: 'What an exceptionally fresh, smart, funny book — I’ve never read anything like this before.’ Jane Harper ‘Readers won’t want to put this story down . . . This is undoubtedly a future classic.’ Big Issue Australia ‘For something different, look no further than the very clever and entirely experimental Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone . . . One of the most anticipated books of the year.’ Weekend Australian ‘The best thing I’ve read in ages. I absolutely loved it. Whip-smart, twisted, funny, and constructed with the pinpoint precision of a bloodthirsty watchmaker.’ Stuart MacBride ‘I absolutely LOVED it. Engaging, entertaining and charming. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything like it. It was such a fun read.’ Marian Keyes 'Clever, unexpected, and not to be missed.' Karin Slaughter ‘Elegantly sinuous, superbly plotted, and surprise-packed . . . One of the best damn things I’ve read this year.’ WrittenbySime ‘This book had me hooked from the first chapter. Deliciously funny, dark and intriguing.’ Alex Pavesi ‘This was such a clever, compelling read. It's a must for anyone who loves the rules of crime fiction, but it still packs plenty of twists. It had me laughing and turning the pages in equal measure. Bravo Mr Stevenson!’ S.J. Bennett ‘The most original novel you will read this year . . . a funny and clever novel that pays homage to the classic British murder mystery.’ Canberra Weekly 'If you're a classic murder mystery fan looking for something fresh and original, you will absolutely love this. I did.' Anna Downes 'The best opening to a crime novel I've ever read. I loved every page of it.' Jack Heath 'A mystery for anyone who thinks they know all too well how mysteries are supposed to work, this is Stevenson's best book yet.' Gabriel Bergmoser ‘With a set of finely crafted characters, and a plot that is equal parts guile, humour, and ingenuity, this is a book that promises to satisfy readers from all points on the mystery writing compass.’ Arts Hub 'An engrossing whodunnit, with an ingenious twist on the classic crime genre. The type of book you finish and want to immediately read again.' Kyle Perry

I think it is generally hard to write a very good sequel. Especially for a book that is quite inventive, funny and a very good mystery all in one. So, I was wary of this sequel and I was more critical with this book while I read it.
Suffice to say, I absolutely loved this one.
Ernest Cunningham is back. He lays out the rules. He hands us all the clues. And is more than happy for us to solve it with him.
Ernest - I mean Benjamin Stevenson - has given us a lovely new narrative that builds on the previous story, with a fresh new mystery and new characters. He utilises the classic mystery tropes and, just as the previous one, puts his own twist on them. There are enough red herrings to go around, but one thing is for sure, Stevenson provides us with all the clues necessary to solve the case.
(Let me say, I did think I solved the case, but as he was doing the explaining, I realised I had gotten it all wrong and had called for the red herrings.)
