About this listen

Murder in a conservatory of carnivorous plants. Bewitching topiary terrors. A sabotaged tea shop. Can Zoe untangle the truth before someone close to her takes the blame?

Alchemist Zoe Faust is no stranger to magical mayhem, but when her boyfriend's new tea shop is vandalized and his special tea blends stolen, she plunges into a baffling mystery to save him. The clues lead Zoe and her gargoyle sidekick Dorian to an eerie mansion high in the Portland hills, filled with creeping carnivorous plants and enigmatic topiary monsters.

When they stumble across a corpse in the conservatory that appears to have been killed by sinister shrubbery, an estranged member of the family is implicated in the murder. Can Zoe use her alchemical skills to catch the real killer while navigating crafty alchemists and killer plants?

The seventh installment in the multi-award-winning Accidental Alchemist Mystery series finds Zoe and Dorian battling carnivorous plants and a killer hiding in the wicked weeds of this closed circle whodunit. Full of laugh-out-loud humor and spine-tingling fantasy elements, this lighthearted mystery will leave listeners racing through the conservatory’s vines to the end of this killer story.

Buy The Alchemist of Monsters and Mayhem to unearth the secrets of the conservatory today!

The series is great. Very different from other books I go through so a nice breather from other genres and great fun to sink into. However, once again the author seems to like to remind her readers every chapter of things we already know about. You’d think by this far in, we don’t need to be reminded that Dorian is a living Gargoyle. It’s not the worst but every chapter seems to be “by the way, if you didn’t know, I’m 300 years old” a fun book for sure, not the best of the series. Max’s detective skills are on existent in this book, which is a shame.

It’s a really good series but…

I really do love escaping into the world of the Accidental Alchemist. Now it is like meeting old friends. There's a fair bit of repetition of previous events in the books for those who come across this book before listening to the others which is probably helpful. For those of us who have listened/read them all, this does slow the pace down a bit but I still enjoy all the colourful events that occur.

The perfect magical escape

A truly beautiful and unique novel, with new characters and old, bring families together and so much more, it’s also stunning how much you learn about tea, and finally how max reacts to his first meeting with the master chef dorian.

It’s also amazing how Brixton and his friends are not the key players for this beautiful and inspiring story that twists and turns, with so many different side stories introduced and just so much more.

A truly unique journey and story from the amazing author, I love it and can’t wait to see what they do next.

I have loved every single book in this series and was counting down the days until this one was released. It was a great story with a lot of our favourite characters, but I did miss Brixton and his pals who don’t feature in this story other than a few fleeting references. Still a 10/10 from me. Can’t wait for the next one.

Another excellent instalment
