About this listen

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.

Loved it. Great story. Intricate and moves along nicely. Great narrator. What more can I say

Brilliant

For me, a good audiobook is one where the author's ability to create truly wonderful, rounded characters and weave intricate plots *and* a narrator who can animate the players of the tale so that they become people (including the gargoyles!).

I'm a huge St Mary's fan and now an equally huge fan of the Accidental Alchemist!

Thank you both for the amazing work you've created!!!

Gigi Pandian & Julia Motyka dream team!

I have adored all the Zoe Faust books and this one is as wonderful as it's predecessors. I just love Dorian!! Light, bubbly prose that is just a pleasure to hear and the narrator does a fabulous job. Bring on the next one!!

Another treasure of a book

Elusive is an excellent word choice for this book! So many things feel elusive within this story and it's an amazing story!
Characters, story, narration are all perfection!
