Benjamin Stevenson returns with a Christmas addition to his bestselling, “deviously good fun” (Nita Prose), Ernest Cunningham mysteries. Unwrap all the Christmas staples: presents, family, an impossible murder or two, and a deadly advent calendar of clues. If Knives Out and The Thursday Murder Club kissed under the mistletoe. My name’s Ernest Cunningham. I used to be a fan of reading Golden Age murder mysteries, until I found myself with a haphazard career getting stuck in the middle of real-life ones. I’d hoped, this Christmas, that any self-respecting murderer would kick their feet up and take it easy over the holidays. I was wrong. So here I am, backstage at the show of world-famous magician Rylan Blaze, whose benefactor has just been murdered. My suspects are all professional tricksters: masters of the art of misdirection. THE MAGICIAN THE ASSISTANT THE EXECUTIVE THE HYPNOTIST THE IDENTICAL TWIN THE COUNSELLOR  THE TECH My clues are even more abstract: A suspect covered in blood, without a memory of how it got there. A murder committed without setting foot inside the room where it happens. And an advent calendar. Because, you know, it’s Christmas. If I can see through the illusions, I know I can solve it. After all, a good murder is just like a magic trick, isn’t it? "Ingenious...As usual, Stevenson hits the sweet spot between self-awareness and sincerity, never allowing the regular fourth-wall breaks to curdle into snark, and the resolution is hugely gratifying. Stevenson’s hot streak shows no signs of cooling." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Clever Christmas fun...a perfect stocking stuffer." — Anniston Star "The Cunningham meta-mysteries are absolutely delightful." — Booklist “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, #1  New York Times  bestselling author of  The Maid  and  The Mystery Guest “Fun and diverting, with a plethora of red herrings.” — New York Times Book Review on Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect   “Another clever spoof of the mystery genre.” — Washington Post on Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect   “Witty…Readers should find the ride on the Ghan well worth the price of the ticket.” — Wall Street Journal on Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect   “An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish . . . everything fans would hope for.
