Cobalt: Valentine & Lovelace #2 | 
I‘m not loving this book as much as Vermilion, partly because I read to escape the tourist trap where I live, and partly because the costume party portion was long and painful due to blackface and yellowface costumes.
This exchange is pretty great, though, and there aren‘t any references to the first book so it shouldn‘t be a problem to skip ahead to Slate.
panValentine & Lovelace go on working holidays to Provincetown. OTW home from an all-night party, Clarisse finds a body on the beach, the body of a young man who the previous day had tried to persuade her to provide him with somewhere to stay in the resort.
Just as light and fluffy as its predecessor (though the less said about the fancy-dress party the better), but despite being something of a binge-reader of series I found two in a row too much.
