    About this ebook

    Aubrey Grant lives in the tropical paradise of Old Town, Key West, has a cute cottage, a sweet moped, and a great job managing the historical property of a former sea captain. With his soon-to-be-boyfriend, hotshot FBI agent Jun Tanaka, visiting for a little R&R, not even Aubrey’s narcolepsy can put a damper on their vacation plans.

    But a skeleton in a closet of the Smith Family Historical Home throws a wrench into the works. Despite Aubrey and Jun’s attempts to enjoy some time together, the skeleton’s identity drags them into a mystery with origins over a century in the past. They uncover a tale of long-lost treasure, the pirate king it belonged to, and a modern-day murderer who will stop at nothing to find the hidden riches. If a killer on the loose isn’t enough to keep Aubrey out of the mess, it seems even the restless spirit of Captain Smith is warning him away.

    The unlikely partnership of a special agent and historian may be exactly what it takes to crack this mystery wide-open and finally put an old Key West tragedy to rest. But while Aubrey tracks down the X that marks the spot, one wrong move could be his last.

      I remember wondering about Aubrey whilst reading the Snow and Winter series. I didn't actually realise he had his own story until I started reading this one. Duh!

      I seem to have been on a C.S. Poe kick lately, and I've loved every second. Every book delivers so much more than I expected going in. And this one is no different. I love Aubrey and Jun. Loved getting to know their idiosyncrasies, being a part of their developing romance, all the while trying to solve the mystery that is unfolding around them and in the end trying to stay alive.

      As always C.S. Poe manages to keep the suspense going right to the last minute. She seems to excel at throwing you off the scent and laying false trails along the way. This is truly one author I can't get enough of!

      There’s a skeleton in the closet...literally. Meet Aubrey Grant...a diminutive thirty-something with bleached hair... narcolepsy...and all the street smarts of his native New York. He’s a passionate historian and manages Captain Smith’s historic house museum with professional expertise. On the day his soon-to-be boyfriend, FBI agent Jun Tanaka, arrives for vacation, Aubrey finds the skeleton. This leads to funny and eerie events. It’s not exactly a story of finding love...it’s more about giving love a chance to happen. People keep dying and then there’s the ghost of a long-dead pirate that may be causing all the trouble. This was really a fun ride from beginning to end. I loved Jun and Aubrey finding how they would fit into one another's lives and the mystery was really good also.
