A hilarious and whip-smart crime novel by the multimillion-copy bestselling author of the Horrible Histories. The perfect mystery for fans of Anthony Horowitz, Robert Thorogood, and Ian Moore.

Four strangers on a train. An unlikely introduction:

Actually, I'm a murderer.

It is 1973 and the lives of four people are thrown into turmoil when sharing a carriage with an unremarkable little man with glasses, on the night train back to Newcastle.

By the end of the following day, one of them will be dead, one will turn blackmailer, and another forced to commit a crime. All of them will be under the astute observation of Aline, the local police officer with her own agenda to fulfil...

When the body count begins to rise, the question is: just how many murderers are out there... and who will be the next victim?

About the Author

Terry Deary was born in Sunderland, in the north east of England, and now lives in County Durham. He was a professional actor before he began writing scripts for the theatre company he was working for and then adapting those stories into novels. He has also worked as a theatre director, museum manager, drama teacher and television presenter.

Terry is the creator of the Horrible Histories series and has written both fiction and non-fiction for children and adults, including the Sunday Times bestseller A History of Britain in Ten Enemies. In his 48 years as an author, he has sold over 38 million books in 45 languages, and has also written for TV, theatre, radio, audio and new media scripts.

Terry's great love has always been reading murder mysteries and, for his landmark 350th book, he decided to finally write his own crime novel. Actually, I'm a Murderer is based on a meeting he had on a train journey in 1974 - but one where nobody died, unlike in the book.
