Dr. Purdue music box aficionado and amateur sleuth lands in his third adventure, The Midnight Special: A Thomas Purdue Mystery, by Larry Karp (The Music Box Murders). Our hero neurologist contends with a scheming interior designer, a thief with synesthesia ("an odd condition where sensory nerves seem to cross-communicate") and an assault on a bipolar antiques dealer and that's just the first day. Punchy prose and a layered plot characterize this New York City romp.

From Library Journal
New York neurologist Thomas Pardue (The Music Box Murders) drops himself into a music box-flavored stew that revolves around Marcus Wilcox, a cagey interior designer with an important box to sell. Although an antiques picker saw the item in the designer's shop, and thugs tortured a friend of Pardue for allegedly selling the box to Wilcox, Wilcox denies having it. When all the allegations and manipulations result in murder, Thomas uses his own collecting expertise to investigate. A pleasant read, complete with familiar characters, convincing plot, and strongly focused subject. For most collections.
