Publisher info
SAFFINA is the lead name behind the UK award-winning, best-selling writing partnership, SAFFINA DESFORGES.
Their controversial debut novel 'Sugar & Spice' has now sold over 200,000 copies digitally world wide and is published in Europe. It is available in paperback from Amazon.
When you think the unthinkable, where do you turn?
Sugar & Spice is the UK #1 best-selling, controversial psycho-sexual crime thriller the agents called "the last taboo". THE 11th best-selling ebook in the UK of 2011. (ref: future book.net)
Based on research and details from the case of child killer, Robert Black and his capture, Sugar & Spice was deemed "Too controversial for the British market."
Close to a quarter of a million readers thought otherwise.
'Sugar & Spice' is now published in Europe and voted as a 'Red Adept Reviews' 2011 award winner for mystery!
If you like cosy crime, this is NOT for you.
Sibel Hodge (author) called it "Patricia Cornwell meets Silence of the Lambs."
The author draws heavily on the classic of the thriller genre, from Cornwell's Scarpetta and Thomas Harris through James Patterson, John Grisham and Stieg Larsson, to produce a truly unique and ground-breaking debut novel.
Would you trust a convicted sex offender to help you find your daughter's killer? Claire did...
Inspired by a news story of a man who begged a Judge to give him a longer sentence, because he knew he would harm another child if released without treatment, Sugar & Spice is meticulously researched, asking the questions society prefers not to have answered. At once disquieting and challenging, Sugar & Spice is car-crash reading. ~ It's every parent's worst nightmare: A child fails to return home. As hours turn to days, all they can do is hope. Some children never come back... Driven by the need to know why, a mother confronts the man accused of her daughter's murder, he presents a compelling defence, convincing Claire not only that he is innocent of harming her daughter, but that his previous convictions were not what they seemed. Teaming up with a second-year psychology student and a fourteen year-old truant schoolboy, Sugar & Spice is the story of a mother's fight to bring one man's reign of terror to an end.

Be warned: In Sugar & Spice not all things are nice...
Praise for Sugar & Spice:
"Outstanding - compares well to any P.D. James novel." An American Editor
"An unsettling read with echoes of Mo Hayder." Crimetime.co.uk

I liked this - I think! Dark and unnerving, it was certainly worth a read, thank you! Saffina. http://www.saffinadesforges.com
- Monsters Are Real
on Dec. 07, 2010
I think you have probably captured what every mother/father would like to do to the 'monsters' that you describe in this story. I enjoyed (probably not the right verb to use!) reading it. Could do with a tiny tidy-up where punctuation is concerned, but on the whole, well-written
