In Person: Benjamin Stevenson

We are excited to welcome Benjamin Stevenson all the way from the UK to Belmont Bookshop!Benjamin is  known for injecting irreverent humor into his intricate crime plots and stand up comedy. His previous novels are global hits that have sold over half a million copies worldwide, bookseller favorites that are mainstays on the indie bestseller charts, and critical darlings having garnered attention from USA Today, New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Crime Reads, AARP, and many others. Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone is currently in development for a television series with HBO after a competitive Hollywood auction. Now, Stevenson once again displays his masterful talents for crafting unforgettable characters and clever twists. In this fiendishly fun locked room murder mystery, Ernest finds himself inside a bank heist (ten heists to be exact) . There’s also an impossible murder that happens during the robbery, a bank manager locked out of his own vault, a robber who doesn’t seem to care about money, a guard who doesn’t care about protecting anything, four dead bodies, a priest that can’t speak, and a talking bird that won’t shut up. The novel is so fun to read, and winks at classic crime conventions in a way that’s sure to appeal to those familiar with the genre and doesn't take itself too seriously. PLEASE NOTE: This will be a ticketed event at an offsite location (to be announced sooon) . Tickets will be bundled with a hardcover copy of the book, a seat to see Benjamin Stevenson speak, and a book signing. Please click the link to be notified when tickets go on sale!
