It’s ​summer in New York City, and antique shop owner Sebastian Snow is taking the next big step in his relationship with NYPD 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.

C. S. Poe: The Mystery of the Moving Image

A második rész nagyon tetszett, attól ez gyengébb volt szerintem. Az első részre emlékeztet abban az értelemben, hogy jó volt, de nem kiemelkedő.
A stílus és a humor nagyon el van találva, de arra nem volt panaszom eddig sem. A rejtély és a nyomozás ebben a részben nem volt túl erős, és nagyon elnyomta a mozgókép történelmére vonatkozó kismillió infó. Látszik, hogy a szerző rendesen elvégezte a házi feladatát, de ez túl részletes volt. A vége izgalmas, de attól még a könyv egésze nem hozott lázba.
Mindez, amit leírtam, nem azt jelenti, hogy rossz ez a könyv, csak azt, hogy a negyedik rész elolvasása előtt egy kis szünetet fogok tartani, mert eléggé egy kaptafára megy, és kezdenek összefolyni a dolgok.
