Strange Tombs - An Essex Witch Museum Mystery

The fourth instalment in Syd Moore’s spooktacular witch detective series

Halloween in Essex, and things are going well for the writers on the Mystery and Suspense course at old Ratchette Hall. Things however take a turn when early on All Saints Day the course administrator is discovered murdered in the hall.

Why would anyone, dead or alive, want to kill mild-mannered Graham?

The Essex Witch Museum investigators are quickly drafted in. As Rosie Strange and Sam Stone’s investigation progresses they find more questions than answers: who is making the unearthly howling noises late into the night? What is the strange glimmering glimpsed in the woods about the Hall? Why is one of the church crusaders missing a finger? And what of the enigma of the ancient empty tomb?

When another one of the writers turns up dead the pair must use their experience of folklore, mystery and magic as well as their wits to solve the mystery before the body count grows.
