Strange Fascination by Syd Moore
4.0
Having read the first two in the Essex Witch Museum series, I was really looking forward to this third instalment. It didn’t disappoint! I’ve said in previous reviews of the series that I’m not a fan of the main character, but now that I’m getting to know a bit more about her, she’s growing on me. Sure, there are still plenty of euphemisms and she’s still pretty shallow, but there’s also a caring Rosie coming through who is more ‘human’ and much more likeable.
This story sees Rosie and museum creator Sam deal with some bizarre goings on in the village of Adders Fork after developers attempt to move the Blackly Be - a large stone said to mark the grave of a notorious witch, Black Anne. I’m not revealing any more because ‘spoilers’! But what I loved about this book was the introduction of some new characters, some endearing and some kooky, which was much needed in the series. I also enjoyed getting to know more about Rosie’s family history, with its own mysteries. Book three hasn’t let me down!
