5.0 out of 5 stars The Stuff of Nightmares... 5 Nov 2012
By Moon
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sally Spedding's latest thriller is a shocking revelation of corruption in the Catholic Church-guaranteed to engage readers from the first appalling moments to the final, agonizing scene. And Ms Spedding creates such dark, demonic images within this tight, tense narrative, that they are bound to linger long after the book is closed.
Set in France during 1997-ironically European Year Against Racism- a group of neo-Nazi priests plans to stage a terrorist attack. Caught up in this affair is Colette Bataille, used and abused by her dangerous, charismatic lover, Robert Vidal, otherwise known as Father Jean-Baptiste. As she struggles to find her missing son,the diabolical conspiracy of flawed priests unleashes its fiendish plot, and faces us with a terrifying display of 'wolves in lambs' clothing.' The world is suddenly peopled with a cast of repugnant characters who might have stepped out of a Bosch painting--from malevolent nuns, fallen women, and sinister abbots, to mysterious, blind triplets, and the action overtakes us with all the force of a relentless hurricane. This is a haunting, chilling demonstration of the festering power of evil from a master-writer. Read it at your peril!

4.0 out of 5 stars Intense Thriller 13 May 2013
Format:Paperback
Malediction is an intense, intelligent, visceral thriller from the get-go. Female-in-peril Colette (with an even-more-in-peril son, Bertrand) is caught up with a very nasty group of Catholic clerics. There are sinister religious folk from all levels of the church hierarchy and this and the devilish plotting makes it reminiscent of classic Gothic literature. But this is classic Gothic with a modern twist, rich in its French atmosphere and range of depraved characters. Dark, dark fiction - definitely not for the squeamish. If you thought Dan Brown was the last word on clerical depravity, think again...
