Meet bestselling author Benjamin Stevenson for an in-conversation event as he discusses his latest book Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret.
When a Christmas show takes a dark turn after a magician’s guillotine trick goes awry, who should be in the front row? After solving the cases of his murderous family and an ill-fated train trip filled with crime writers, Ernest Cunningham finds himself slipping back into the shoes of detective to unravel not one but two tricksy crimes.
Where we would normally find footprints in the snow and blood on the holly, our detective is instead placed in the Blue Mountains during a scorching December with many a Yuletide clue, from the presents to the advent calendar.
In classic Stevenson style we have suspense and devious puzzles, fun and humour, all tied together with a neat bow. When he isn’t writing mysteries, he’s an award-winning comedian who has sold out live shows from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival all the way to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Benjamin is the author of the globally popular ‘Ernest Cunningham Mysteries’, including Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone, which is currently being adapted into a major HBO TV series, and Everyone on This Train is a Suspect. His books have sold over 750,000 copies in twenty-nine territories and have been nominated for eight ‘Book of the Year’ awards.
The author event starts with refreshments at 5.30pm, followed by Benjamin’s talk at 6pm, ending with audience questions and the opportunity to buy Benjamin’s signed books provided by Collins Booksellers Tamworth.
