Murder, of course. Everyone, from the Colonel to Mrs. Braden to the new recruit Dina, has been acquitted of murder. Some of them more than once. So they set up shop in a run down country manor and begin offering courses on how to remove the Intended. Courses include Anatomy, Forensic Medicine, Poison, Grips, Electricity, Court Etiquette and Alibis, Automobiles and Firearms. Classes are going well until one of the students gets a little carried away and actually Removes someone on the premises. This makes for great practice on Disposal, of course, but it does seem a joke in rather bad taste. Clifford Flush, in charge of the course, does not want to accuse anyone, but naturally, such behavior must stop. I was very pleased to find this book at the secondhand store, after just loving her first book, The Wooden Overcoat. This one has the same crazy black humor as the first, with an entertaining cast. What really makes Branch a good writer to me is what she chooses to leave to the reader's imagination. Now I'm dying to read the next one! (  ) cmbohn | Jun 5, 2009 | This one concerns a group of murderers who for one reason or another have got away with their crimes,and who have banded together to form a school to train prospective killers just how to do the job well,and to avoid getting caught too. Head of the school is Clifford Flush,assisted by Mrs Barratt,Colonel Quincey,Dina Parrish and last but by no means least The Creaker. One of the funniest characters is Paget,the butler,whose smile is said to strike terror into nearly everone's heart. There is also the present class,who are quite an interesting assortment of types too.A great read (  ) devenish | Sep 3, 2007 | ) face_at_the_window | Jan 19, 2007 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Clifford Flush had not murdered anybody for years. But when he felt the urge to kill his bridge partner he was blackmailed into leaving London. He and his fellow Asterisk Club members, all of whom had been wrongfully acquitted of at least one murder, establish themselves as professional homicide consultants in the ugliest manor house in Dorset. After all, if they could commit the perfect murder why not share that knowledge with the world - for a handsome fee? Flush conducts classes on Grips, Knots, Electricity, Court Etiquette and Alibis. Mrs Barratt teaches Anatomy and Forensic Medicine. Colonel Quincey specialises in Automobiles and Firearms. Everything is going just fine until a member of the 26th class has the effrontery to get himself murdered on the premises. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
