Rosie Strange doesn't believe in ghosts or witches or magic. No, not at all. It's no surprise therefore when she inherits the ramshackle Essex Witch Museum, her first thought is to take the money and run.
Syd Moore lives in Essex, where the Rosie Strange novels are set. Previously 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 and Witch Hunt.
'Dennis Wheatley meets Caitlin Moran.'

‘Strange Magic is that rarest of things: a book which sets out
unashamedly to entertain, and does so with wit, style, and
erudition. I gleefully submitted to a tale of witchcraft, feminism,
mysterious strangers, historical atrocities, plucky heroines and
ghastly apparitions – and came away more proud than ever to be an
Essex girl.’
*Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent*
‘Confident, down-to-earth Essex girl Rosie is an appealing
character, and there is plenty of spooky fun in this spirited genre
mashup.’
*Guardian*
‘A brilliant beginning to a highly original new series. I promise,
this book will hold you spellbound!’
*Crimesquad*
‘A witty, whip-smart read that captivates the reader and conjures a
plot full of danger, fun and romance…the characters are brilliant –
relatable, real, witty and warm. The plot is a puzzling mystery
that sweeps the reader along, and Moore's voice as a writer is one
that will make the reader want to go out and buy her other
books.’
