Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide by Rupert Holmes

4.0

For those considering eliminating the person who is the object of your affliction, McMasters Conservatory is the perfect place to start one's studies. After all, the institute is dedicated to teaching students the art of homicide. This "Poison Ivy League" college is situated in an unknown location and only admits students with ethical reasons for erasing someone who truly deserves death.

MURDER YOUR EMPLOYER is brilliantly written with dark humor in a case study textbook format. Holms presents three case studies of past students who graduated from McMasters and went on to carry out their "thesis." These case studies are fascinating and provide deep insight into the minds of the alums and the methods they use to perform their theses.

The wordplay and innovative approach in MURDER YOUR EMPLOYER are refreshing and unique, and it is a perfect read for those looking for something different & unique. Since it's written in a textbook style, MURDER YOUR EMPLOYER has quite a slow buildup, and the overall pace of the story isn't as fast as traditional crime thrillers.

Overall, I enjoyed reading MURDER YOUR EMPLOYER and would suggest it to readers who enjoy dark humor and want to explore an unconventional approach to the crime genre.
