The backstory-heavy structure results in a slow pace whenever Ansel isn't present. The women's stories contain too much extraneous information and generally lack the emotional depth they need to compete with Ansel's fascinating creepiness. Ansel is a chilling, creepy monster, tormented by memories of his mother and baby brother and hoping for sympathy that's never quite realized. Meanwhile, an earlier timeline presents the stories of Lavender, Ansel's lonely and abused mother, who abandoned him Hazel, the twin sister of Ansel's former wife, Jenny Fisk, whom he may-or may not-have murdered and Saffron Singh, a New York State police investigator, who has her own disturbing history with Ansel. While the clock ticks, Ansel is moved from Polunsky, his prison of the last seven years, to the Walls Unit, the last stop before his execution. Emotionally detached from the deaths of Izzy Sanchez, Angela Meyer, and Lila Marony, the three girls he murdered almost 30 years ago, he's chiefly focused on the escape plan he's made with Shawna Billings, a prison guard, and his manifesto, in which he philosophizes about the nature of good and evil in the human psyche. A murderer on death row awaits his execution.Īnsel Packer has 12 hours to live.
