When accusations of witchcraft and dark supernatural dealings surface in their quiet Essex town, the Stocks must navigate a world of superstition, deceit, and murder to uncover the truth. Leonard Tourney masterfully blends the social tensions of the late sixteenth century with the conventions of the classic whodunit, producing a tale that is both intellectually engaging and vividly atmospheric. The novel presents a compelling portrait of an era gripped by fear of the unknown, where the line between folk belief and criminal conspiracy proves dangerously thin. A rewarding read for fans of Ellis Peters and Umberto Eco, it demonstrates Tourney's assured command of period detail and narrative suspense.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888023843035,"sku":"2026100006681-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d2dfce22-2e2b-44e7-8e6b-6a3b60dad28f.png?v=1781753097","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006681-secondhand-familiar-spirits","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
