Description
Secretly Rosie Strange has always thought herself a little bit more interesting than most people – the legacy her family has bequeathed her is definitely so, she’s long believed. But then life takes a peculiar turn when the Strange legacy turns out not just to be the Essex Witch Museum, but perhaps some otherworldly gifts that Rosie finds difficult to fathom. Meanwhile Sam Stone, Rosie’s curator, is oddly distracted as breadcrumb clues into what happened to his missing younger brother and other abducted boys from the past are poised to lead him and Rosie deep into a dark wood where there lurks something far scarier than Hansel and Gretel’s witch…
Praise for the Essex Witch Museum Mysteries:
‘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

Mel P, Reviewer
Having read "Strange Magic", I was keen to read Syd Moore's "Strange Tricks" (in fact I have other books in the series at home and was planning to try and read them all before but will have to come back to the series). There are references to the first book (and others I presume) but that doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the story. Centering around .the day to day running of her Essex Witchcraft museum, these stories each have a supernatural crime or crimes to investigate. Starting with Pearl White and her visions, Rose and her entourage end up in the north of England and solve the crime of several missing boys. Looking forward to reading the next instalment (and will hopefully have caught up with the books in between by then).
