I read this last year and forgot to write down the author or title. I think it was written in the mid-ninties by a journalist in New York, and was his first novel. The narrator tells of framing his nanny for theft, pushing a family employee under a train, killing his parents with a gas leak that explodes when they get home, and killing his elder brother who was a noted sculptor. A big part of the book was his interview by a honeymooning couple who is more interested in his brother, and he poisons them with mushrooms. It was a great book! Thanks for helping!

  1. Yes!

    It's 'The Debt to Pleasure,' by John Lanchester--one of my favorites.
