Owner of the Essex Witch Museum, Rosie Strange and the museum’s curator, Sam Stone, are tasked with investigating some strange goings on in a city restaurant. The book follows their attempts to get to the bottom of the spooky occurrences and perhaps to solve a grisly murder...
Well paced, the story keeps you guessing throughout, with clever twists and turns and a real ‘whodunnit’ feel. Personally, I dislike the main character, I find her shallow and self-absorbed. But who said we had to like our protagonist? I say well done to the author because to build any feeling about a character, they must be written well and developed in detail, which is exactly the case here.
I really enjoyed the description in this book, the scenes are set really well and I was very much absorbed into the mysterious, and sometimes creepy, storyline. It’s cleverly put together and if you enjoy a good ghost/mystery read, then you will love this book.

Great fun, wonderful storytelling with an ability to turn from light to sending shivers down your spine (just a little). And three cheers for the Author's Note. (I've never written that in a review before.)
