The first book seemed fresh and original, the characters were so dynamic, and I was immersed from cover to cover. But now as we get to book three, I feel like things are losing their spark. I find myself not really believing that Sebastian can realistically be the center of all of these mysteries--especially when the one in this book is so over-the-top. I did enjoy this one, but not as much as the previous two installments. And I'm left a little disappointed... I certainly hope that C.S. Poe is moved to write more of this series. At this time there is only one more...so please get with it. If same sex couples are not your cup of tea...just skip over those parts and immerse yourself in one very good mystery with lots of clues and red herrings. There is even two wonderful dogs in the stories now. I read this one in a day and it was just so intriguing with the detailing of film history and how the device...the Kinescope... which was delivered to Sebastian fit into it all. I also wonder if a new series is forthcoming featuring Sabastian’s former boyfriend and Calvin's fellow cop, Neil and a new character Lee. Neil will have to do a lot of changing before he will fit into any series this good but we’ll see. He’s really working on becoming a better person than it was when he was with Sebastian. The lore and history surrounding the mystery is meticulously researched and so well carried out until the very end. You learn something new and interesting with each new book. Poor Sebastian! Even when he's trying to be good, he gets sucked into mysteries. However, you can't say it's kicking and screaming. No, while he doesn't go out looking for these things to happen, once they do he can't help himself *grin* These MCs are just so adorable together. i honestly wish I could fly to New York and meet them in person. I don't want to help Seb solve any mysteries, lol, but I'd love to spend time with him. He's such an interesting character. And Calvin is a dreamboat. As always the mystery leaves you guessing until the end. You might have an inkling along the way, but you're never sure until the bad guy gets caught! While I wasn't a fan of Neil in the first two books, he started growing on me in this one. Would it be too much to ask for Neil's story at some point? I love it. I love the mystery, and I love Sebastian and Calvin together. The plot of this story... god! such an amazing gift for cinematography buffs! And the way you walk along Sebastian, trying to get the facts straight, and going back and forward from this suspect to the next, never sure, not really, it was so much fun! :) And I really enjoyed the new friendship between Neil and Sebastian, and how non-plussed Calvin is about it. I simply loved it :) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieSnow & Winter (3)
It's summer in New York City, and antique shop owner Sebastian Snow is taking the next big step in his relationship with homicide detective, Calvin Winter: they're moving in together. What should have been a wonderful week of playing house and celebrating Calvin's birthday comes to an abrupt end when a mysterious package arrives at the Emporium. Inside is a Thomas Edison Kinetoscope, a movie viewer from the nineteenth century, invented by the grandfather of modern cinema, W. K. L. Dickson. And along with it, footage of a murder that took place over a hundred years ago.Sebastian resists the urge to start sleuthing, even if the culprit is long dead and there's no apparent danger. But break-ins at the Emporium, a robbery, and dead bodies aren't as easy to ignore, and Sebastian soon realizes that the century-old murder will lead him to a modern-day killer.Even with Sebastian's vast knowledge of Victorian America and his unrelenting perseverance in the face of danger, this may be the one mystery he won't survive.

Really, that's all you need to know, particularly if you've read the first two books.
This is one of my favorite series in part because Sebastian's vision is even worse than mine, yet he manages to get in way more trouble not because of that, but because he can't resist nosing around. He needs Calvin. Luckily, Calvin needs him even more. ( )
