Brilliant, great fun. Takes the scenario of Murder on the Orient Express and plays it for laughs. A more accomplished performance [than] Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone
The Times, Crime Book of the Month

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
Nita Prose

Fun and diverting, with a plethora of red herrings
New York Times

Clever, satisfying, impossible to put down and gloriously inventive. It's fantastic. Books like this are why we love reading
Stuart Turton

An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish…everything fans would hope for
Jane Harper

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
Mail On Sunday

This crackles on the page. Such an original voice
Jane Fallon

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
Crime Time Book of the Month

Benjamin Stevenson is rather like the illusionist Derren Brown, who deconstructs others’ magic tricks only to pull off brilliant ones of his own
The Times

Praise for Benjamin Stevenson
