Our Listen of the Month for April is a clever and darkly funny crime tale from Terry Deary. Four strangers share a train carriage in 1973 and one of them quietly declares “Actually, I’m a murderer.” Within a day, one of them is dead and the rest are pulled into a twisty, character‑driven mystery that is full of sharp humour and surprises.

The audiobook is a lively production performed by Adam Stevens, Anna Gilthorpe, Sam Stafford and more, bringing the story’s humour and tension vividly to life. Reviewers call it “sinister and hilarious. Great fun” (The Sun) and “smart, funny and deftly executed” (Guardian). It has also been praised as “extraordinarily fun and oh‑so‑gripping” (i Paper) and “dark, witty… had me racing for the end” (Janice Hallett).
