Reviewed first for ScribesWorld Title: .Killing the Boss Mystery Enjoyed the Read ...Recommended ... 5 stars The Review Kitchen Works Inc is the site of a horrendous murder. The book opens with a news headline blaring ‘KitchenWorks vice president found slain in office.’ Vice President of the company Douglas Dardis has been bludgeoned and left for dead in his office. Office pressure is laid as a cause for the death. That first death is followed by that of sales manager Wallace Cleveland, Wally has had a heart attack. A shootout at the Drake Hotel leaves a policeman dead and the police department taking another good long look at the KitchenWorks deaths. Writer Pinkerton has presented an intriguing book filled with innovative manner of writing. This is not a story in the usual sense as we inspect the pages filled with ‘office’ memos, police evidence files, ‘news reports,’ and the like. From the opening news article in which we read of the death of the first of the KitchenWorks folks right down to the final Company Memo welcoming a new President to the company we are carried along with the police as they disentangle the matter. Killing The Boss is an eye-popping, fast paced chronicle that will have the reader unable to put the book down until they see what it is they will find on the next page. Pinkerton’s characters emanate as wholly developed through the memo’s and police reports. There is little definite colloquy, which does not depreciate at all from the narrative. The numerous pieces of ‘documentation’ presented are more than enough to flesh out each of the many characters and situations. You may find yourself a bit amazed at the ending! Note: Watch those red herrings. Pinkerton will catch you off guard if you are not observant. Good read.
