Sarah Flint

Sarah Flint is a British thriller and mystery author best known for the “DC Charlotte Stafford” series of novels. As a forty-three-year-old that had worked for a quarter of a century for London’s Metropolitan Police Service. She was inspired to become an author when she saw her sister’s novel on sale at the local supermarket. Seeing Dee Yate’s novel on the shelves got her so excited that it planted a seed that soon started germinating in her mind. Within four months, she had written the manuscript for her first novel and got hooked into writing. But the manuscript would languish on her shelf for years as she had a lot to learn about punctuation and writing style. Since Sarah worked as a police officer, she did not have the literary skills, even though her job provided a good base for police procedures, settings, and characters that populate her novels. While she often had to deal with aggression, tragedy, crime, and dependency brought about by fragmented and disjointed families, her overriding interest was the need for justice for her victims. Fascinated by the circumstances that bred crime and what made criminals and law enforcement tick, she wrote her first novel “Mummy’s Favourite,” the first of the “DC Charlotte Stafford” series in 2016.
