The Mystery of the Spirits: Snow and Winter Book 5

Written by C.S. Poe

Narrated by Wyatt Baker

Antique dealer Sebastian Snow and Homicide detective Calvin Winter have been happily married for a year and a half. In that time, there’s been nary a mystery in sight, and for a recovering sleuth like Sebastian, an uneventful life is exactly what he needs.
That is, until Calvin’s lieutenant enters the Emporium and demands insight on a bizarre object known as a spiritoscope, hailing from the early days of the Spiritualism movement. Sebastian’s extensive knowledge of Victorian curiosities leads him to consulting for the NYPD—putting him at odds with his husband. And as the bodies begin to stack up, so do the seemingly dead-end clues, which if Sebastian can’t make sense of, might result in a whole lot more death.
Mystery, murder, and marriage… Sebastian’s back.

Reviews for The Mystery of the Spirits

[carol420 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I love antiques and I am a huge fan of history, so this series has been an enjoyable adventure for me. C.S. Poe has blended both into her Snow and Winter series plus she has created great characters in Sebastian Snow and Calvin Winter. She has given them the gift of each other and allowed them to find happiness and contentment. They've been married for a year and a half at the start of this story and it's good to see a couple whose attraction and life together is thriving simply because they’re in love, and their love paints everything about the way one sees the other. As with every book in this series, I find that at the end of the book, I am both satisfied by the resolution and also sad to say goodbye to these characters and their shenanigans. I sincerely hope that there will be books number six, and seven, and eight....if not there is the gift of rereading a wonderful series.
