Murder Your Employer

 Murder Your Employer  written by the clever author, Rupert Holmes.   

Clever writing with many puns and wordplays and double entendre...

Interesting concept, but slow moving mystery about people who want to murder someone who has wronged them. They are educated in the art of murder or as the school refers to it, they become "delitists" . There are rules to being able to take a life and the students are taught how to get away with murder. If you fail you are eliminated .

This novel follows a few characters who have joined the current class of “delitists” , people who have a grudge or issue with someone they feel deserves to die for their sins.  The school teaches you how to murder the person in question without getting caught.  the methods are unusual and the person will know who is killing them and why they are dying.  The teachers and administrative staff of the this unusual school also want to make sure you are justified in your desire to murder.

So the concept was interesting and of course leads not only the protagonists in the book to think about the ethics and moral dilemmas of their actions but also the reader to think about how you feel about this idea in general and the individual cases.
