Rupert Holmes, Murder Your Employer

“This one is a bit of an outlier on the list, a humorous look at upper crust English education only on the more nefarious side. Narrated by the headmaster of the McMaster Conservatory, a school that specializes in the art of deletion, a polite way of saying murder, we learn the various means of polite death that follow the tenets of “Does this person truly deserve to die?” If so, the students take classes on the various means of deletion before majoring in a solution that fits their situation before embarking on their final exam which… well, they’d better pass or else. Told in a plummy British accent with great word play and a very 1950ish feel, this was one of those nice surprises that will enliven many an evening.” — Pete Mock
