Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect

　　「向阿嘉莎・克莉絲蒂致敬之作，同時將其重塑成現代樣貌。」－《房間裡的陌生人》紐時暢銷作家妮塔．普洛斯讚譽
 
　　澳洲懸疑作家協會邀請我坐上行駛於達爾文以及阿德雷德之間的甘號火車，參加他們舉辦的第五十屆犯罪情節寫作盛會。剛好我也需要為自己的第二本作品尋找一些靈感，這次必須是虛構小說，我得從真實世界中，人們之間的廝殺解脫才行！但很顯然⋯⋯完全沒有成功。
 
　　這回參與盛會的名單一出，都是業界中赫赫有名的大人物－驚悚小說作家S.F. 梅傑斯、前法醫病理學家亞倫．羅斯、以單名走天下的Wolfgang、還有雖然已經二十年沒有出新作，但也曾經轟動一時的麗莎．富頓，隨便一個名號都比我響亮。然而就在這輛列車上，在這群可以稱上媲美專業私家偵探的作家之中，竟有人敢在我們眼皮子底下殺人！當然，前提也是因為這個犯人就隱藏在我們之中…(文／博客來外文館)

　　From the bestselling author of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone, a fiendishly fun locked room (train) murder mystery that "offers a tip of the hat to the great Agatha Christie novel while at the same time being a modern reinvention of it" (Nita Prose) -- perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Anthony Horowitz
 
　　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, the remaining authors quickly turn into five detectives. Together, we should know how to solve a crime.
　　Of course, we should also know how to commit one.

How can you find a killer when all the suspects know how to get away with murder?
