Cargando... The Mystery of the Curiosities (2017)por C.S. Poe
![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. In this second book of the series “Snow and Winter”. The dynamic of the couple is now firmly in place, so it's mostly all about the mystery. Which is not to say there isn't plenty of time with the two guys. Their dynamic is a big part of what is making these stories such good reads. The mystery is quite interesting, and chock full of red herrings. The final reveal is definitely one of those “I should have seen that coming” moments. The bad guy is not as easily recognized as the one in the first book. I love this series. I especially liked the coffee shop “Tall, Dark & Bitter” with the murder names for the menu items. Think I’ll have the “Dead bird on the freeway with brains” on the side. (Turkey burger and curly fries) :) The mysteries are always multi-layered and well thought out with loads of fascinating background detail. Another series that I will hate to see end. 4.5 Calvin and Sebastian are quickly becoming my favorite book couple, they are just so right together. I particularly enjoyed the mystery in this one since scenes took place in some of my favorite NYC locations: the Museum of Natural History and the Met, as well as the J train and Williamsburg. I kinda thought I knew who the killer was, even with the big red herring, so I was psyched I was right. This was a really clever mystery and definitely worth checking out. I really liked this one a lot more than the first. But, if I need to be honest, the best relationship here is the one between Sebastian and his father. I really enjoyed the mystery, and the resolution surprised me. And I enjoyed the romance between Sebastian and Calvin a lot more, with all the awkwardness that belongs to any new relationship and the bagage that both of them are carrying. The narration is superb, so cherry on top! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Life has been great for Sebastian Snow. The Emporium is thriving and his relationship with NYPD homicide detective, Calvin Winter, is everything he's ever wanted. With Valentine's Day around the corner, Sebastian's sole concern is whether Calvin would enjoy a romantic date. It's only when an unknown assailant smashes the Emporium's window and leaves a peculiar note behind that all holiday plans get pushed aside in favor of another mystery. Sebastian is quickly swept up in a series of grisly yet seemingly unrelated murders. The only connection tying the deaths together are curiosities from the lost museum of P.T. Barnum. Despite Calvin's attempts to keep Sebastian out of the investigation, someone is forcing his hand, and it becomes apparent that the entire charade exists for Sebastian to solve. But with each clue that brings him closer to the killer, he's led deeper into Calvin's official cases. It's more than just Sebastian's livelihood and relationship on the line - it's his very life.

I do love a well-crafted mystery, and this one was perfect for me. The multiple elements are beautifully woven, like a magician hiding key cards as she manipulates a deck to best surprise you. I enjoyed book 1 very much, but this one is even better. And the last line made me laugh even as I said "aww." (
