Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect: A Novel | 
A murdery audiobook needs a murdery @FrostbeardMPLS candle 🕯️ Nearly finished with this one and just how I felt when I read the first one I feel like I need more Australian author recs 😄

pickGhastly ⭐️ (😉) I loved this one even more than the first! I decided to try the audiobook this time around, and it made the experience even better. I love the humor and the style of these books, and I enjoyed the mystery even if I didn‘t guess any of the plot twists. When the epilogue started, I actually went sheet white and gasped out loud 😱 but by the time it was finished I was giggling 🤭 I adore this series and can‘t wait for the next book!
⭐️ 🚞 🔪 📝 (tagged book, which is hilarious and so so good!)
⭐️⭐️ I‘m very excited to start Where the Dark Stands Still by A. B. Poranek
⭐️⭐️⭐️ I frequently recommend Fredrik Backman :)

pickA little too much filler, mostly in the form of breaking the fourth wall over and over without adding anything to the story, but witty like the first and an interesting enough story with some fun reveals.
pickA fun follow up to Everyone in my Family Has Killed Someone. Definitely influenced by Agatha Christie, but with its own fun first person quirks. I enjoyed it and will read more from this author. 4⭐️
pick34/150 As fun as the first book was, I actually like this one even better. Some people might be annoyed by the author breaking the fourth wall to talk to directly to the reader, but I enjoy those moments, it adds a quirky charm to solving the murder mystery. I'm not sure how many books can be written with this MC, but I hope we get another one at least.
4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

I enjoyed Everyone in My Family has Killed Someone very much, so I ordered the next book featuring Ern.
pickI actually liked this one better than the first one! I think this book really took the criticism of the first book and made the second better. When the author interjects, it felt more natural than the first one. I felt the main character was a little more fleshed out. I also just enjoyed this setting more. 4.5/5
pickI do believe this second book in the series was even more fun than the first. I love Stevenson's humor and style. Highly recommended!

Loving this book.
pickA great follow up to Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone. Humor and grisly murder combine on a train…with several mystery authors…and a bunch of secrets. I greatly enjoyed listening to this one. Ernest is a fun character, who provides as much info as possible to solve the crime. But, there are a lot of twists and turns, with just a tiny bit of red herrings scattered throughout. Enjoyable!
pickA unique literary festival is taking place on a train bisecting #Australia when suddenly someone dies. A couple amateur sleuths, including protagonist Ernest are sure it‘s murder and trying to solve the crime. This is a super fun read with a good sense of humor. You don‘t have to have read the first book to enjoy this one.

If you liked the first book, I think you will like this follow up! I did enjoy the first one more, though. Everything came together in a clever way, but it was a bit convoluted and I didn‘t feel as invested in the cast of new characters. It also had some similarities to “The Mystery Guest”, which I listened to within the last couple of months, so it didn‘t feel quite as original to me as the first one did.🎧
1. Work, hang out with my grandson, read.
2. I have a planner, and lists everwhere.

pickWell, I couldn't not read all of this book in one sitting. Could I have put it down? Sure, but why would I?
Not as many deaths as the first book, lots of suspects though. And Ernest pulls some stunts that are Mission Impossible worthy.

I‘m doing something a bit different this year. Instead of the bracket style monthly picks I‘ve done in the past, I‘m going to pick my favorite book from the month and leave it at that 😊 So, without further ado my Jan 2024 pick is 🥁🥁🥁 the tagged book 🎉🎉🎉 I loved it and devoured it over the 3-day MLK Jr weekend. This author has joined my “auto-buy author” list for his humor, wit, and overall great story telling 🙌 #TopReads2024
pickI enjoyed this slightly zany (both in structure and plot) story, but did not 'love' it and I wanted to. Maybe it got just a little too crazy for me. I also think it would have been a better read as a physical book, as I often wanted to go back to check things and find that easier with an actual book. That being said it was still worth my time and would read the next in the series. Thanks to Edelweiss for the digital ARC. 3.5/5 stars.
pickI loved this book. L-O-V-E-D IT! I started it Friday and then a winter storm forced me to stay home so I finished this delightful read this weekend from our frozen tundra 🥶☃️🧊 I am keeping my fingers crossed for more stories from Ernie! If you enjoyed Anthony Horowitz‘s ‘Horowitz & Hawthorne‘ books, you‘ll really like this one and Stevenson‘s first book (tagged in comments). ALL THE STARS!!!!
This book is EXACTLY what I needed 🥰 Our plans to visit my family in Iowa this weekend were ‘derailed‘ by a winter storm that brought blizzard like conditions and below zero real temperatures with unheard of wayyyy below zero windchills 🥶🧊❄️ So, we unpacked our bags and have been hunkering down on the sofa; me with this hilarious and great read and my hubby with Madden NFL. We‘re aiming to meet up in Feb 🤞🤞🤞
bailedToo much dialogue. I've got many more books waiting to be read.
