Seeing isn’t always believing....the second novel in a witty commercial trilogy with the winning combination of witches and magic and Essex Girls
Syd Moore lives in Essex, England, 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.
'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 and Without the
Moon*
'She is the best thing to happen to paranormal fiction in a long,
long time.'
*Starburst Magazine*
‘Once again, Moore pulls off the trick of combining incisive wit
and spellbinding atmosphere with multiple layers of history and
contemporary issues into one potent draft.’
*Crimesquad*
'Like Strange Magic, the perilous pursuits and gruesome
developments are accompanied by lots of humor. And, for those of
you who, like me, find living human beings far scarier than dead
ones, rest assured that the book offers an abundance of plain old
human evil of the sort that occurs in this life.'
*Pop Culture Association Mystery & Detective Reading List*
'Sexual Chemistry and supernatural happenings come together to form
a read that's part 50% Jonathan Creek, 50% Moonlighting, and 100%
bloody brilliant (in more ways than one...)'
*The Bookbag*
‘Moore does an excellent job here of highlighting a real historical
scandal with echoes in the present day.’
*BLUEBOOKBALLOON*
‘I became totally immersed in Rosie’s world – I loved her
relationship with Sam, as well as the descriptions of London. Rosie
is such a strong character; her fantastic wit is weaved throughout
the narrative. The plot kept me guessing right until the end. I
can’t wait for the next book in the series! Highly
recommended.’
*Elisabeth Carpenter, author of 99 Red Balloons*
‘Forget Essex, Rosie Strange should be declared a national
treasure. She is the best thing to happen to paranormal fiction in
a long, long time.’ 10/10
*Starburst Magazine*
