This is a twisty, convoluted story which appears to be a story within a story called Saint or Sinner by Ellen Saint.  She is taking a writer's workshop run by Felix Penny a crime novelist. This workshop is also attended by a journalist, Michaela Ross, writing Killing Time for the Sunday Times Magazine. The story weaves its web through the eyes of the characters in the book who all tell a different story. Ellen is a totally unlikeable, unreliable character who can be very annoying because of the intense anger which clouds her judgment and perspective. She is using writing as a means of grieving for the loss of her son, Lucas in a tragic accident with his friend Kieran Watt. Ellen is blinded by her grief and determination of seeking revenge for her son's death. It soon becomes apparent that she is becoming mentally unstable as her view of events differs greatly from other people. It will definitely mess with your head as it isn't clear what is fact and what is fiction. What really happened? Who is the victim?
