The narrators were excellent, and the story incredibly engaging. This is an incredibly funny book that has a pretty deep, dark storyline. We really get to understand why the targets need to be deleted, and have our own dislike for each of them.
I may have picked this up to read after a bad day at work, but Murder Your Employer turned out to be a delightful and darkly comedic escape. With its cheeky title, it felt like the perfect way to direct my workplace frustrations into something lighthearted yet intriguingly twisted.
The plot centers around a boarding school for adults, but not just any adults—these are people grappling with unique problems and honing a particularly unconventional set of skills. The story is a fresh and original take, blending suspense and humor in a way that feels wholly its own.
The protagonist stood out to me for his relatable frustrations with the corporate world. His journey, set against the backdrop of such an unconventional setting, kept me engaged throughout. While there weren't any specific quotes or scenes that lingered long after reading, the overall tone of dark comedy trending towards suspense made the book memorable.
This isn't just a book for those venting workplace frustrations—it's an easy, compelling read with broad appeal. Whether you're a fan of dark humor, suspense, or just looking for something unique, this is a story worth diving into.
this was fun! it does exactly what the summary promises. the pacing is a bit off sometimes, this could have been shorter in my opinion but nonetheless an entertaining read for the most part!!
I thought the writing here was witty and whimsically clever, making it an easy and fun read. I really thought how this book was structured would make more sense by the end, yet it didn't. Cliff is the only character that gets a 1st person POV, which makes him read as the main character, but we also follow Gemma and Dorcie in 3rd person POVs in their attempts to murder their own employers. I thought somehow the POVs would connect in some clever way by the end, but it really was just that. So in that sense if Cliff is the MC, but we get chapters following unrelated plot lines, half of this book was just filler? Like I really wanted something to bring it together for me, but regardless I did enjoy reading this.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Murder Your Employer by Rupert Holmes is a devilish thriller that introduces readers to The McMasters Conservatory, a luxurious and clandestine college dedicated to the fine art of murder...
The cover on this book is outstanding, and the writing itself is fantastic. It's like Hogwarts for murderers!
