Book review: 'Sinners' is a well-executed collection of dark tales with twists aplenty

The 3percenters writing group are Susan Rodgers, Martin Keating, Jenny Wright, Alix Moore-O’Grady, Mark Bastow and Adrian Taheny

Writing groups and classes have become more popular than ever of late. Set up to provide encouragement and support, they often deliver much more. Deep friendships are forged between people who, otherwise, would have been unlikely to have crossed paths. And just sometimes, they can be almost life-changing.

One group – who met in a class facilitated by the writer Ferdia MacAnna, have published not one – but three volumes of short stories – all of them based around sins and couched in crime. The enterprise has given them all confidence, recognition, and a massive boost as they go on to work on their individual debut novels.
