My name is Ernest Cunningham. I’ve spent the last few years solving murders. But a bank heist is a new one, even for me.

The doors are chained shut. No one’s coming in or out. Which means that when someone in the bank is murdered, hostages become suspects.

Publisher Review

Who knew murder could be so joyous? Sharp and funny, with characters you’ll want to cheer for and a mystery to savour. You’ll love it — Tom Hindle Benjamin Stevenson, always an energetic writer, has surpassed himself. Everyone In This Bank Is A Thief is a ripper of a read * The Times * Nobody from Agatha Christie to Anthony Horowitz beats Stevenson for cleverness. Resign yourself to being stumped, and enjoy * Kirkus * Coincidences and wisecracks abound in this fast-paced caper: Think Knives Out meets Fargo…the fourth entry in Mr Stevenson’s zany series gives readers more than their money’s worth of shocks and satir * Wall Street Journal * Stevenson’s hot streak continues…as always, Stevenson plays scrupulously fair with readers, offering all the evidence needed to solve his devilishly intricate puzzle from the jump. Still, even the most seasoned mystery fans will struggle to beat him to the final reveal. This series continues to impress * Publishers Weekly * Will delight fans of the series and earn new ones…funny and clever…a smart nod to the golden age mysteries * Crimespree Magazine * Praise for Benjamin Stevenson — : Clever, satisfying, impossible to put down and gloriously inventive — Stuart Turton An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish — Jane Harper As fresh and zingy as a salted lime. It’s Knives Out meets Richard Osman — A.J. Finn
