When Snow's Antique Emporium is broken into and a heart is found under the floorboards, Sebastian can't let the mystery rest. He soon finds himself caught up in murder investigations that echo the macabre stories of Edgar Allan Poe.

Theater critic Artemus Bancroft isn’t sure what to expect when his aunt summons him home to California with vague but urgent pleas about being unable to cope with “the situation”. The situation turns out to be the apparent haunting of Green Lanterns Inn - along with alarming rumors that long-suffering Auntie Halcyone may have murdered her philandering husband. In fact, the rumors seem to have been started by the late Mr. Hyde himself - from beyond the grave.

Publisher's Summary

Life has been pretty 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 only cause for concern is whether Calvin should be taken on a romantic date. It's only when an unknown assailant smashes the Emporium's window and leaves a peculiar note behind that all 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. 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.

The Story has great potential!

Would you try another book from C. S. Poe and/or Derrick McClain?

Yes because i like the writing and the storyline is good. The only thing i dont like is the main Character is very annoying! He has a great boyfriend who keeps forgiving him but he keeps doing things behind his back and lying. i would not like that in someone i was living with or seeing. i would have dumped him a long time ago, especially when things Sebastian does almost get the cop killed.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

He does alot of exaggerating some words in the story almost like a grunt or he always sounds annoyed.

Sebastian Snow mystery book 2

Yikes, someone is basically stalking Sebastian by leaving dead bodies for Sebastian to find. A clue left with each body challenges Sebastian to find out why each was murdered, to find evidence that proves the victim's death was "justified." In other words, his stalker is practicing vigilante justice. Calvin is worried for Sebastian's life. So was I. This killer is vicious and does not mind collateral deaths of innocent people. Sebastian is incurably curious and cannot resist. Even better than book 1 . Max, his Emporium employee, is adorable in this book because he wants to play Watson.

Good story, narration detracts a bit

I enjoy the Snow and Winter stories; it's fun to see the pickles Seb gets himself into, and Calvin always saves him. I do find the narration distracting. The narrator makes an odd audible inhalation after each sentence, almost a grunt. That detracted from my enjoyment of the book. I was able to sort of ignore it.

hard to enjoy book when you hate main character

Not sure the writer fully understands police procedure, relationships, physiology, or human nature. Good grasp of male anatomy, though. Could've used a warning in the description about the graphic sex.

Frustrating!

The main character is one of the most frustrating I've encountered. It was like watching a bad horror movie. Don't go into the basement! And he does, over and over and over again. No mystery here just a character that I wished the killer would kill.
I stopped listening with over 4 hours left to hear. I couldn't take the predictability of every scene.

I didn't see that coming!

I loved the first book and this one was even better. Although I don't care much for winter snow, I adore the team of Winter & Snow.
I like that both Cal and Seb are as flawed as any human. I love how they compliment each other's weakness and help when they can. I will be eagerly awaiting book 3.
