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

Product Information

At the start of the book, we are introduced to Cliff Iverson who for reasons best known only to him at this time is determined to kill his former boss in a way that he hopes will also ensure that he does not get arrested for murder. Who hasn't wondered for a split second what the world would be like the object of your affliction ceased to exist? The first chunk of the book is actually just that, with some additional quotes and info from the dean. The weird part is that a lot of his story is presented as journal entries addressing the anonymous sponsor who made his studies at McMasters possible.

To be a student at this institution, you will have to undergo a rigorous selection process and your motive must be clear and justified. One of the things that I missed at first that really would have helped me was knowing that this book is set in the 1950s as I struggled for a while with the time setting. Should this at-home study manual entice you to enroll in this fine finishing school, remember: don’t skip a class, develop good study habits, pay attention in your courses on weapons, poisons, and the art of disguise. p>The data controller is Headline Publishing Group Limited.

It sounds like you've said it in your lifetime, even though you've never said ‘a deletist,’” Holmes said with an ever-present laugh. This moral caveat is in odd contrast with the attitude on casual killing the students have to cope with in the Academy.

Slow burn to edge of your seat, this story leaves you guessing and assuming…only to be questioning if what you read was truly fiction, or entirely possible. It's a bit long at 14 hours, with that said, it's entertaining and similar to watching an old black and white movie from the mid-20th Century. Newly-divorced and facing an uncertain future, she impulsively swaps her London Life for the sweeping hills of the Yorkshire Dales, determined to make a fresh start. A story with humor that's not overdone, details and "twists" were logical and keeps you on your toes along with characters that aren't the ordinary papier-mâché stereotypes. Someone in even only a slight (maybe even falsely perceived) position of power over you, and possibly others, who shamelessly used that to their advantage?With humor, intrigue and surprises, this book will keep you guessing, yet desperately hoping to find out if each student can pull off their thesis and graduate from the McMasters Conservatory for the Applied Arts, which is literally a life or death proposition.

Also, it was a bonus that I kept imagining the schools dean as Keith Michell's character of Dennis Stanton in Murder, She Wrote. I had fun finding out everyone's motivations, and the side characters felt fleshed out as well as the main cast, with Doria definitely taking the number one spot in my heart (sorry Cliff). The Mcmasters Academy does not endorse any murder, only the deletion of people that deserves it and whose demise benefits others without making no innocent suffer. Like, if you run a murder school, I don't think putting so much emphasis on whether a person deserves to die actually serves as any kind of moral absolution.The murders were hugely overplanned, in a way that sounds clever at first glance but entirely depended on a whole lot of people unknowingly doing things exactly as hoped, and detailed so lovingly that the book slowed to an absolute crawl. Brilliant concept: a finishing school for would-be murderers teaching you how to do it and get away with it.

This is no ordinary place, and it is not long before he is assured there are 2 ways you leave this place… either graduate, or if you fail then you yourself end up being the one that is “deleted”. We wind up following three different students as they negotiate the difficulties of McMasters campus and student body. This book was a cozy mystery in the vein of dark academia, with an undercurrent of cheek and black comedy that made for an intriguing and highly entertaining read.

Darkly enriching…this intriguing tale of mystery, mayhem and murder is the perfect blend of intelligence and intricacy. Going Zero is a captivating thriller that examines the consequences of widespread surveillance and the loss of privacy in the digital era. There are many things to consider and even IF you manage to pull it off, how will you get away (after all, you don't want to let the asshole employer have the last laugh, do you)? But the challenge he set for himself was for the motive to be clear, fair and unavoidable, giving the reader "a relatively clear conscience about wishing some people dead. After all, when the behavior of another person leaves you no choice but to kill them, their murder is simply involuntary suicide.
