Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide by Rupert Holmes, 399 pages.
This novel contains three case studies of individuals who, for one reason or another, determined that murdering their employer was absolutely necessary to maintain their quality of life. These individuals all, by some means or another, go to study at McMaster's Conservatory for the Applied Arts, a very specialized and secret school which teaches its pupils to "delete" deserving targets. From there each student must use a variety of very specific skills to craft an elaborate plan to eliminate their truly terrible bosses.
This is a fun book that very fully explored it's premise. It was absolutely chock full of wordplay, which is both good (a love a good pun) and slightly tiresome (some examples felt very belabored). This book reads at a leisurely place, and it was genuinely a pleasure to watch elaborate plans kill terrible people who absolutely deserved it.
