Story
Everyone in my family has killed someone. Some of us, the high achievers, have killed more than once. I’m not trying to be dramatic, but it is the truth. Some of us are good, others are bad, and some just unfortunate. I’m Ernest Cunningham. Call me Ern or Ernie. I wish I’d killed whoever decided our family reunion should be at a ski resort, but it’s a little more complicated than that.

With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn's most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don't find evil so attractive, Evie. But just when she's getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat . . . and not just the literal kind.

Publisher's Summary
A New York Times bestseller! From Edgar Award-winning novelist, playwright, and story-songwriter Rupert Holmes comes a diabolical thriller with a killer concept: The McMasters Conservatory for the Applied Arts, “a fantasy academy laid out like a combination of Hogwarts, Downton Abbey, and a White Lotus-style resort” (Los Angeles Times) dedicated to the art of murder where students study how best to “delete” their most deserving victim.
Who hasn’t wondered for a split second what the world would be like if a person who is the object of your affliction ceased to exist? But then you’ve probably never heard of The McMasters Conservatory, dedicated to the consummate execution of the homicidal arts. To gain admission, a student must have an ethical reason for erasing someone who deeply deserves a fate no worse (nor better) than death. The campus of this “Poison Ivy League” college—its location unknown to even those who study there—is where you might find yourself the practice target of a classmate…and where one’s mandatory graduation thesis is getting away with the perfect murder of someone whose death will make the world a much better place to live.
Prepare for an education you’ll never forget. A “fiendishly funny” (Booklist) 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.

Incredible concept and fully immersive wicked fun!
The idea of an academy existing to ensure even the average could be trained to get revenge of the truly loathsome is an incredible concept we could all admit to sometimes find intriguing, right? It moves along with incredible characters, interesting dialogue and little mind conundrums answered along the way. Such interesting plot scenarios.
Very interestingly written and narration was great! Had I really paid attention to the American narrator chosen it may have made me avoid the audible version, but he was really quite good.
You won’t be disappointed by this read/listen.

Well thought out
Appreciated the intricate story lines that unfolded throughout. Was cheeky without being too corny.
Some of the characters were a little more developed than others which made their stories more favourable but overall really enjoyed it

A Fun Listen - a long story
*3.5 stars.
Admittedly, this novel is a departure from my usual book roster. I kept seeing people rave about it, so I thought why not give it a go.
The overall story was fun, although a bit jagged at times. It was long winded and overly descriptive. Some folks like that - it's not for me.
I listened on audible. The narration was excellent, and likely what kept me engaged.

this story was too long
this book was too long it felt very drawn out and there was a lot of repetition. Did I mention things weren't drawn out.
this was a great premise for a book. it should have perhaps been a series. was the author paid by the word?
