The McMasters Conservatory for the Applied Arts is not your typical institution of higher education. McMasters is dedicated to the fine art of murder. But not just the murder of anyone, only those who deserve murdering. When Cliff fails miserably at his attempt to do in his devious boss, he is whisked away to McMasters, courtesy of a generous sponsor, to learn how to get the job done. Like Cliff, we learn a lot as we navigate the twists and turns of McMasters' curriculum, which culminates in the execution of his thesis. A unique idea, cleverly crafted and well thought out. While it seemed a little long, it was also humorous and entertaining and by the time they got to their finals, I couldn't put it down.
