McMasters Guide to Homicide

At first glance, the McMasters Conservatory might resemble any elite academic institution—ivy-covered walls, rigorous admissions, brilliant minds at work. But behind its genteel façade lies an education unlike any other: this is a school where the curriculum is murder, and the golden rule is simple—only kill those who truly deserve it.

Set in a world just one shade removed from our own, McMasters Guide to Homicide blends satirical sharpness with twisty plotting, offering a wickedly original spin on the traditional crime series. Here, would-be murderers are refined, not raw—taught to eliminate with elegance, ethics, and discretion. From forging untraceable poisons to mastering psychological manipulation, the students of McMasters aren’t just learning how to get away with it; they’re learning how to do it right.

The series unfolds with sly humor and a touch of theatrical flair, echoing the author’s background in mystery and stagecraft. The tone is darkly comic, with just enough noir to cast a long, intelligent shadow. What makes this world so compelling isn't just its premise, but its ability to walk the tightrope between parody and suspense—where the line between justice and vengeance is constantly redrawn.

McMasters Guide to Homicide consists of one book and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
