Saint X is a truly interesting look at the ways a life is altered following a major tragedy - from the family of the dead to those accused of murder - the people connected to the death of Allison Thomas would never be the same.

Following Allison's death on the carribean island Saint X, we see how her sister's life has changed alongside Clive, one of the men originally accused of her murder and some others as well. Saint X is not a mystery, but rather a slow burn, deep dive into how lives were changed as a result. While an interesting topic, I felt the book could have probably cut out 100 pages and still achieved the same message and would have impacted me more without the additional pages and the neverending feeling.
