MURDER YOUR EMPLOYER The McMasters Guide to Homicide

The narrative talents of Simon Vance and Neil Patrick Harris combine to present this unusual mystery set in a 1950s school that specializes in teaching how to "morally" murder and escape the consequences. Listeners meet three students: engaging Baltimore engineer Cliff Iverson (the standout), a sweet-natured English nurse, and a feisty Hollywood actress. Vance's more mature and Harris's younger voices capture the diverse cast to perfection, and the story includes fitting puns, lively jokes, and exceptional wordplay. In addition to learning methods to inventively delete (murder) deserving victims, cleverly rendered quotes from the school's handbook offer further diabolical fun. The action and spirited renderings amp up as each student must successfully delete their intended victim OR be eliminated by the school. An unanticipated climax will have listeners cheering.
