Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked The Consultant as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a Korean thriller about a killer who never meets his victims. Instead, he devises elegant solutions for what he regards as ‘restructuring’ on behalf of The Company.
He creates deaths which are untimely, but never suspicious. I found the premise intriguing, and it is written with a cold logic that almost makes killing seem acceptable.
But then it all starts to go wrong for the consultant when he is told to kill someone he knows. It is darkly funny, but also a telling commentary on capitalism.
