    About this ebook

    Snow & Winter: Book Two

    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.

      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.
