I think I liked this one even more than the first. I enjoyed the fourth wall breaking and it's one of the few mystery books to truly stump me until the end.

This book was a fun treat! I read it quickly and enjoyed the unique setting (train through the Australian Outback) and the parameters for the two murders. Ernest is a cheeky narrator; his clues to the reader were interesting and threw me off the trail. This is a great follow-up to Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone and I will check out the next installment in this series!

I loved this sequel even more than the first book! If you haven't read Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone, the first novel in the Ernest Cunningham series, I highly recommend that you do. 

Stevenson crafted an excellent story that made me both burst out laughing and gasp from suspense on multiple occasions. Stevenson's unique protagonist as a writer who writes about how to write mystery novels is a humorous and charming aspect of the book.

I couldn't put this book down! I really loved how all of these new characters were introduced. They all were fleshed out well and were able to make sense without feeling like the story is just a mess of strangers with confusing backstories. I did feel like the mystery was more confusing this time, so honestly I didn't solve much on my own. The denouement did have to do some heavy lifting to get me to understand everything, but I still enjoyed it. I look forward to what comes next from Benjamin Stevenson!

A bit too caught up in the gimmick, though the mystery itself is not bad.

I’m a new fan! Picked this book up on whim thinking this was “Murder on the orient express 2: electric boogaloo “, but no, this was still unique. I didn’t read the first one, but I felt this story was told well enough that I didn’t need to go back. Loved the pacing and the characters. Will check out other books from this author.

This was actually pretty fun and kept me on my toes, there was just a tad too many names, that made it hard to keep up and made the reveal a bit less impactful
