met benjamin stevenson once many moons ago (jan 2022 i think) doing some publicity to some book stores giving out ARCs for this upcoming book, everybody in this family has killed someone. somehow, i was seen as the person who liked crime (for the record, not really a crime reader. i will dabble). i was pleasantly surprised by this one, and was pleasantly surprised by this one. jury is still out if crime is for me, but i had fun, and sometimes thats all a book needs. plus, even if it takes place on the ghan, its a break from the glut of outback noir pervading crime fiction bookshelves
