Rape is off page, with a child also being a product of this. Pedophilia is also off page and only referenced in terms of an incident that took place years before the book is set.bessadams's review against another edition

"It’s the stories themselves, not the covers and the shelf space or the festival invites, that outlive us."
I finally read Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone earlier this year and was absolutely blown away by it. I then added this sequel to my TBR straight away, and I've been looking forward to read it ever since... Now that I've had the chance to do so, I'm happy to announce that I loved it just as much as the first book! This was EXACTLY the dose of quirky, dark and humorous thriller I was craving, and it turned out to be another title for my list of 2024 favorites. As with most unique and quirky books, it's definitely not a story for everyone... If you are able to click with the writing style and humor though, Everyone On This Train Is A Suspect is SUCH a fun ride. I love a story with a bookish angle, and there are so many bookish references to be found along the way... The murder mystery is clever as well, and while I did end up guessing who was behind it in the end, the journey alone was worth it. This story is told from a first person POV, which doesn't always work well for me, but in this case Ernest's voice is perfect. It was great seeing Juliette appear again as well, although the rest of the characters are completely new and you can easily read this book as a stand-alone as well without missing out on too much. The fact that it's set on a train with only limited suspects kind of gave you that locked room vibe... Only without the locks like Ernest mentioned, because the majority of the cabins on board can't be locked. All in all it doesn't come as a surprise when I say that I loved every single minute I spent with this story, and I simply couldn't stop reading. I also still can't believe I have waited this long to read his books! I'm predicting a double mention on both my 2024 favorites and 2024 favorite new author discoveries list.
