Her awful boss has been murdered and everyone in the office is a suspect in this bright, witty, chaotic, and all-too-relatable mystery.
Julia wants her boss dead. We've all been there. Who hasn't spent hours daydreaming about the ways their egotistical, bullying, sexist, controlling boss might meet his demise? Of course, Julia would never act on her murderous fantasies--they are just a healthy way of channeling nine years of suffering, resentment, and unspoken grievances. Totally normal. Until one Monday night, working late in the office, awful boss Reg Manning unexpectedly drops dead in front of her. Julia panics--convinced she must have killed him with the power of her mind--and she flees the scene. When she comes to her senses (no one has ever been thought to death!), she knows she's messed up. There's only one sensible course of action: hide the body. But things don't go to plan. Reg Manning's death was no accident. Julia's boss was murdered, and now Julia is being framed. With the unexpected help of Hot Todd From Design (and no they definitely did not have a moment at the summer social), and Poppy the intern, who seems a lot more interested in murder solving than learning the chair sales business (slacker!), Julia must find the killer, serve justice, and really fricking nail the PowerPoint for the new customer pitch next Thursday . . . all before she gets accused of a crime that she didn't commit. Reg Manning certainly had enemies. Julia's spreadsheet of suspects can be scrolled to infinity. They've all got motive, and everyone in the office is a potential killer.
