Strange Tricks

'If you're looking for a first-rate mystery that is full of humour, heart and will also give you the heebie-jeebies, Strange Tricks is the book for you. Charming, tense and addictive, I couldn't get enough of Rosie and will be buying and listening to the other books as soon as possible.' -- Emma's Biblio Treasures 'Mysterious, intriguing, humorous and highly entertaining, Strange Tricks is a fantastic audiobook and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end; both the writing and the narration are exceptional.' -- The Book Magnet 'The narrative of Strange Tricks is near impeccable. Rosie's musings on her surroundings and life in general, are as hilarious as they are relatable. Under a facade of a devil may care, adventurous, rather feisty Essex girl, there's an extremely sensitive and quite a sweet character whose whole life has been defined by a series of unfortunate events which cast long shadows on her future. The world of Strange Tricks offers many avenues for exploration. On the surface, it's a well-woven mystery that introduces us to a twisted serial killer. Still, it touches upon the themes of feminism and women's rights without being preachy or reproachful. It takes a dive into the subject with a very cool head and firm resolve to challenge without losing its entertainment value.' -- Kon Frankowski's Book Blog Praise for Syd Moore: '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 'Dennis Wheatley meets Caitlin Moran.' Starburst 'Confident, down-to-earth Essex girl Rosie is an appealing character, and there is plenty of spooky fun in this spirited genre mashup.' Guardian
