Quick Summary:

The McMasters Conservatory for the Applied Arts is the Eton of Assassination, where the final thesis for graduating is developing a plan for the person in your life who deserves it most and successfully applying it.

What I thought:

This book is very funny, in dry understated way.

A refined school in all things murder, where the idyllic campus hides its identity to anyone who may stumble upon with signs declaring it a home for the criminally insane.

The students however are not insane, they are clever and talented and all share one thing in common, a target in their lives who really deserves to graduate to the next life. The dry humour is very entertaining and while it’s not a fast paced plot, it does have a very satisfying ending.
