We discuss chapters 12-27 of Benjamin Stevenson’s ‘Everyone on this Train is a Suspect’, the second novel in his ‘Everyone’ series. Alan Royce is on the hunt. He’s confident that there’s no way Ernest Cunningham has managed to stumble across a second true crime while trying to write the follow up to his previous true crime memoir. As the obviously incompetent forensic crime fiction author goes about trying to shoehorn his first inoperable theory from Ernest to another candidate, another death looms. Ernest is stuck between several rocks and hard places as suspicion is traded around like a scarf. Hang on, wasn’t there a scarf by the body in the opening?

We’re joined by Dr. Kate Evans of ABC Radio National’s ‘The Bookshelf‘ to unravel this book over these three weeks, and also chat with Jack Heath about his latest book, “Kill Your Husbands“.

Thank you to BAD: Sydney Crime Writers’ Festival, and Penguin Australia for providing copies of ‘Everyone on this Train is a Suspect’. Thank you to Allen & Unwin for helping to arrange the interview with Jack Heath.
