Strange Fascination: An Essex Witch Museum Mystery
Strange Fascination: An Essex Witch Museum Mystery | Syd Moore
6 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
It's summer in Adders Fork. The sun is out, the sky is blue and things are going swimmingly for Rosie Strange, thank you very much. The Essex Witch Museum has been relaunched with a new Ursula Cadence wing and picnic grounds. Takings are up and Rosie and curator Sam Stone are getting on very well indeed. Then developers roll into the sleepy village to widen the road. When the centuries-old Blackly Be boulder, said to mark the grave of a notorious witch but now in the carpark of the Seven Stars, is moved, all hell breaks out. Within hours a slew of peculiar phenomena descends: trucks break down, blood seeps through walls, headless monks and spectral ladies are sighted in the dead of night, and the church clock strikes thirteen. And have gold coins, supposedly the lost treasure of Mockton Abbey, been discovered? When a severed head is discovered atop the boulder, the locals can take no more and storm the Museum to demand someone take action. Can Rosie and Sam unravel the mystery? And what of the ancient treasure that could drastically change someone's fortunes and offer a motive for murder?

Here‘s my November TBR 11 days late!
🧡 I finished The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon this morning. So good. And it counts toward my #monthlykeywordgxo challenge.
I doubt I can read the other 4 books in 19 days but my goal is:
🎂 Birthday read: tagged
🇮🇪 #whatsinaname2020 challenge: Now & Then by Jacqueline Sheehan &
👽 Noir by Christopher Moore
📚🐎 #monthlykeywordgxo September: The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes
🧐 See any you liked?

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I've only read The Shadow of the Wind but it was so good! 3y
PaperbackPirate @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Right?! Have you read any other books in the series? 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I actually listened to The Prisoner of Heaven first having heard they're connected but not a true linear series. I enjoyed it, but after I read book two I'll likely read it, for the full effect. Fermin Romero de Torres is my favorite character. 3y

Halloween morning I opened my #basicwitchswap package from @Scochrane26 & it made me so happy. Thank you for 3 books I have coveted (Shannon- I like hardcovers too!)! The pumpkin is so super cute!! The Day of the Dead bookmarks are beautiful!! + I love Peanuts too!
I know my post is late but every time I‘ve looked at my stack the past few days I‘ve felt joy & gratitude. 🧙‍♀️🧡
Thanks for hosting @Meaw_catlady & @sprainedbrain !
#basicwitch

Scochrane26 Glad you like it. I was trying to find Halloween horses but finally found the cute pumpkin. You should come to Ky sometime in April or October to watch horse racing. I live in the “horse capital of the world” (edited) 4y
PaperbackPirate @Scochrane26 I‘ve never seen a Halloween horse but I bet they‘re cute. 😂 I love my pumpkin though so it worked out. 🐎 I love watching the Triple Crown every year and any other race I can see in between. I wish to go in person to the derby some day! 4y
Scochrane26 @PaperbackPirate I also want to attend the derby one year, but right now, I can prob only afford the infield. In Lexington, we have fall & spring meets at Keeneland, so I can see live racing. 4y
PaperbackPirate @Scochrane26 Have you ever been to the 3 day eventing competition right around Derby weekend? I also dream of going to cross country day! 4y
Scochrane26 @PaperbackPirate I haven‘t been to the 3 day event. I have a family at church that is involved in harness racing. I just haven‘t been to many horse-related events. 4y

4⭐️

This series of books is fun to read with Strange Fascination being no exception. There are some zany characters and they are written with a sense of humour. The mystery side in this particular book is very intriguing, although it takes a little time to get going. An entertaining, quirky, enchanting and enjoyable read. I look forward to more of Rosie and Sam‘s witchy adventures.
