Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect

I loved how meta this one was! Not only did he tell us the number of times the name was mentioned, but also kept a tally for us! I love how this took a fair play mystery to the extreme.
The ending was clever and almost too clever. I'm still not sure if I like it or not. There were also almost too many characters. It was hard to keep track of the 8 or so writers plus the handful of fans and the other publishing people in the train. For the most part there were enough clues in the conversation to help us connect the name to the right person.
