If you want to kill someone, chances are it is someone you already know well. In that case, you will be the number one suspect unless you can make the murder look like an accident or a random killing. Thus, if you want to murder someone, it's best to do it in a big city that has a high homicide rate, so your crime doesn't stand out as much.
Let's assume your target is in a big city or you somehow lure them there. There are still the questions of how, when, and where to do it. Mob hitman Richard Kuklinski liked to dissolve sodium cyanide in a drink, pretend to be drunk and spill it on his target. The poison would be absorbed through the victim's skin. It's a cheap, simple, and ingenious method. The best part is it attracts very little attention. Drunk people in crowded bars spill things all the time. Another advantage is that since the poison takes several hours to kill, there is no need to dispose of a body.
Guns, knives, clubs etc. should be avoided because they cause injuries that point to foul play. That leads to an autopsy and a criminal investigation if the body is found which it likely will be. Accomplices should be avoided as well since they can make mistakes as well as betray you to the police. Do not try to hire a hitman unless you are already deeply involved in organized crime. Many law enforcement organizations have phony assassins-for-hire businesses to entrap the gullible. Human remains are usually found unless they are disposed of very carefully, as in the case of Jimmy Hoffa.
If your target is out in the boonies, it's to wait for them to be about to leave for a long vacation. Since they will be expected to be gone, no one will notice they are missing for a week or two, and this allows you to get far enough away after the deed is done to have a reasonable alibi. You could also wait for a snowstorm or hurricane since most people will be too distracted at the time to notice a sudden death. In this case, sodium cyanide dissolved in water and loaded in a squirt gun would be my weapon of choice. It would be easy enough to play it off as a joke and thus avoid suspicion. The lethal dosage of sodium cyanide is about 6.4 mg per kg of body weight, so you would need to soak the target's skin with maybe half a pint worth of liquid for it to be lethal.
Given the difficulties and possible consequences of homicide, consider getting revenge in alternative ways. Can you get someone fired from their job or ruin the relationships with friends and family? If so, that will likely be easier and more satisfying than killing them. The Stasi, the secret police of East Germany, rarely killed people. Instead, it tried to drive them to madness or suicide via a process of long-term harassment called Zersetzung.
Remember also that living well is the best revenge.
