Summary

Dorian Robert-Houdin, the three-and-a-half-foot gargoyle chef who fancies himself a modern-day Poirot, is slowly turning into stone, and it's up to Zoe Faust to unravel the alchemical secrets that can save him. When they discover that a long-lost stone gargoyle with a connection to Dorian has reappeared in Europe, the stakes are even higher. From Portland to Paris, Zoe searches for the hidden knowledge she needs, but a cold case that harkens back to 1942 throws her off course. With an ailing friend desperately trying to discover his own elixir of life and a new romantic interest offering the first chance at love she's had in nearly a century, Zoe is torn between a dangerous form of alchemy and her desire for a safer life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Compelling intriguing mystery adventure

Another brilliant book in the series the storyline is really shaping up I am not sure if I like Leopold as much as I like Dorian it is really interesting to learn a little about alchemy, narration only adds to the storyline

Very enjoyable

A charming story, like the previous two. Gentle, but exciting. Fun for those who can enjoy a story about alchemy, and a charming, friendly, gargoyle! Well read. Easy to listen to.

Charming and very easy listen

These books are sweet and quirky. A lot of kindness and affection for Portland and it’s people. Love the animated gargoyle. The vegan heroine is a bit too silly in places for someone with her special qualities… but hey. In these dark times, I need good hearted stories like this one!
