Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Product Information

Having created the McMasters universe, Holmes had to create universal truths to guide how people behave in a place bent on breaking the law. Cliff uses some of his time to reassess the foibles of his attempted killing of an immediate superior, as he tries to concoct how he would re-commit the murder.

After all, when the behavior of another person leaves you no choice but to kill them, their murder is simply involuntary suicide. The obviously played-for-fun premise combines with Holmes' witty word play that had me smiling at nearly every page. The McMasters Conservatory for the Applied Arts is a clandestine college set in a secret location which teaches the fine art of how to successfully murder (or delete as the novel has it) someone who has treated you badly. The characters only had a little bit of backstory and were solely focussed on preparing and executing their murders.

Sitting in his sunroom with a sweeping Hudson view, Holmes laughed easily about the McMasters world he has created, with impeccably rendered illustrations and a map by Broadway set designer Anna Louizos. The author has done a great job of weaving an intriguing narrative around such a creative and unique premise. A delightful mix of witty wordplay, breathtaking twists and genuine intrigue, Murder Your Employer will gain you admission into a wholly original world, cocooned within the most entertaining book about well-intentioned would-be murderers you’ll ever read. An institution that, in actuality, is teaching righteous people to murder the monsters in this world.

The Collected Regrets of Clover” is a debut novel by Mikki Brammer that tells the story of Clover Brooks, a death doula in New York City. Rupert Holmes does well to create an eerie and thought-provoking book, whose realism is left to the reader’s imagination. For those of you who do not know Colombo, he was a police detective on a long running tv series, his cases where always very very complicated and he meticulously puzzled out each piece.
