Product Description

Product Description

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?


From the acclaimed Kindle-UK best-selling author Saffina Desforges (Sugar & Spice) comes a sensational new crime thriller series.



The Rose Red series takes British crime thrillers in a new direction, with fast-paced, action-packed detective fiction, each based on the theme of a classic fairy tale.

Forget plodding police procedurals. Think 'Ashes to Ashes' meets James Patterson's 'Women's Murder Club'. Think sassy female Sherlock Holmes, 21st Century style!



Snow White is book one of the Rose Red series. DI Cass 'Red' Rose is a feisty female cop fighting the usual battles that go with being a senior detective in London's Metropolitan Police.


Most coppers go home at night and forget about it. Not so easy when your partner is a leading criminal defence lawyer. As one fights to put them away, the other tries to get them off.
~
A priceless artefact is stolen en route from the Louvre to the Victoria & Albert Museum and now the mysterious Queenie wants The Hunstman to get it back. For Red the case is a distraction from the more pressing matters of hoodies terrorising the elderly on London estates.



But when Red's boss and mentor is targeted by The Hunstman things get personal. Very personal.




Set in modern-day London, Snow White (and The Huntsman) is a fast-paced, gritty urban thriller that will leave you wondering whether fairy tales really do have happy endings.




"Law & Order with a twist of lime." - Barbara Silkstone (author)

"Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Did I mention it was brilliant? Nothing like it on the market at the moment." - 'Newshoeaddict'



Rose Red Book 2: 'Rapunze'l is coming soon! Look out for it in Summer 2012!

Rose Red Book 3: 'Beauty & the Beast' is due for release late 2012

Disappointing . . . 29 Aug 2011
By deana
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have never done a review before but feel I have to write an alternative to all the 5 stars this book has already got. I previously read Sugar and Spice and really enjoyed it so was delighted to see another book by the same writer. And reading all the reviews I was really looking forward to it. But oh no . . . I always read to the very end but I am not even halfway through and think I will just give up. The 2 main characters are not that likeable and seem a very unlikely match. There is just too much swearing in the book - don't get me wrong I don't usually mind that in a novel, and in fact especially in a police setting is probably realistic enough but it's just all the time. The 'romantic' scenes between the 2 lead characters are just too much information. But the final icing on the cake for me is when the 11 year old daughter walks in on Mum and her lover wearing "a contraption" and it doesn't seem to be that big a deal (this is a police detective and a barrister). Its just inappropriate. And seems odd that most of the reviews (not all) have only ever reviewed Saffina Desforges 2 books. Call me cynical but seems that some reviewers are maybe biased. Sorry, but despite really enjoying her previous book this has totally put me off. Unlikely I would download any more even if it was a freebie.

After loving Sugar and Spice, I was over the moon to find more by this author but actually wish I hadn't now. I downloaded this to read on holiday and saved it as I guessed after Sugar and Spice it would be a treat. What a shame.
There are too many cliches. I didn't really get the Snow White aspect of it apart from Ruby always wanting to be read the fairy tale. There is the lesbian detective (Rose Red), her posh barrister lover who apparently can't cook or clean, the eastern european immigrant nanny, chauvinistic male detectives, kids who know more than they let on etc etc.
This could have been the start of a great series in the style of Simon Kernick or Peter James but is very disappointing. I was reading along , willing it to become better but it didn't and I may download future books in this series just to see if they improve rather than in eager anticipation of exciting reads. I was gripped by Sugar and Spice in its style, its content and how it dealt with the controversial subjects. Please Saffina get back to this style of writing!

Big disappointment 15 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I had read and really enjoyed Sugar and Spice recently and downloaded this book almost automatically. Very soon I wished I hadn't. I am so disappointed with this book that I have been moved to write a review, my first.

The behavior of the the two main characters, Cass a supposed hard nosed lesbian DI who seems to cry too often and behave unprofessionally in court and Philippa, her Barrister lover is unbelievable. They would never have stayed together as a couple with Philippa's continual whining about germs, lower classes on buses etc. I wanted to strangle her or tell the writer to stop. The sexual elements of the book were a little distasteful and there was more information than I needed and wanted and I certainly think they would have been more careful with the children around.

I really wanted to give up on the book and do not know why I carried on. The reading was a hard slog. Had this been a hard copy, it would have gone in the bin.
