The third in the Essex Witch Museum series sees Rosie and Sam take on their biggest mystery to date...
Syd Moore lives in Essex where the Rosie Strange novels are set. Prior to writing, she was a lecturer and a presenter on Pulp, the Channel 4 books programme. She is the author of the mystery novels The Drowning Pool, Witch Hunt and the Essex Witch Museum Mysteries, Strange Magic and Strange Sight.
'The rarest of things: a book which sets out unashamedly to
entertain, and does so with wit, style and erudition.'
*Sarah Perry*
‘It was fun to spend time in this little corner of Essex. There was
some real threat and excitement as well as a few spooky chills. And
proof, as if it needed repeating, that you shouldn’t mess with an
Essex girl or her family.’
*Crime Review*
'Strange Fascination is the most entertaining, intricate,
ingeniously structured and beautifully written entry so
far... Moore’s storytelling has once again achieved a level
most other supernaturally-themed mysteries can only dark-dream
about.'
*Starburst*
‘It makes for a thoroughly good read… Very much recommended.’
*Mystery People*
‘Like an episode of Midsomer Murders, we get local rivalries,
protestors, sexual undercurrents and nasty deaths – and that's even
before the supernatural seems to breaking loose… All in all I
think this book – and the series its part of - an absolute triumph,
with its own distinct voice, humour and – at the centre – a rather
sweetly romantic story.’
*Bluebookballoon*
Praise for Syd Moore: 'A fun and thrilling read, one hugely
impressive element is that Moore uses her light tone and intricate
character relationships to address some serious points - ranging
from people trafficking through to the derogatory stereotype of the
Essex Girl. Lead character Rosie Strange is a woman to be admired
with her ballsy, no-nonsense attitude, excellent boots and
compelling family history. I can't wait to see more of Rosie, Sam
and the Essex Witch museum in the future.' Cathi Unsworth, author
of Weirdo ‘Dennis Wheatley meets Caitlin Moran.’ Starburst 'The
Strange novels are a breath of fresh air for fans of supernatural
mysteries...all fantastic books...I can’t recommend them highly
enough' Paranormal Underground
