Strange Tricks
Strange Tricks: An Essex Witch Museum Mystery | Syd Moore
7 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
Rosie Strange is back in the latest of the fabulously creepy Essex Witch Museum Mysteries 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, shes 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, Rosies 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 Gretels 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

I finished my book on a plane ride to New Mexico last night. I thought this was the last book in the series so I was bummed by the ending, but then I read online that there‘s another one coming out in 2025 (Strange Maven)!
I love this series - very feminist, very light romance, amateur sleuthing, and progressively more supernatural as the series continues.

PaperbackPirate @5feet.of.fury I love the cover, but…this is the last book in a series and all the other books have white covers with foil images. 😅 Why?!! 1mo
