About this listen

Deciphering an ancient alchemy book is more difficult than Zoe Faust bargained for. She'd much rather be gardening and exploring her new hometown of Portland, Oregon - but time is running out for living gargoyle Dorian Robert-Houdin. If Zoe isn't able to unlock an unusual alchemy book's secrets soon, the French gargoyle will remain awake but trapped in stone forever.

When Zoe gives herself a rare night out to attend a classic magic show, she realizes the stage magicians are much more than they seem. A murder at the theater leads back to a string of unsolved robberies and murders in Portland's past - and a mystery far more personal than Zoe and Dorian ever imagined.

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

I read some other reviews before moving on to this book to decide if I needed to know more. So was ready to be a bit disappointed after reading this book was “worth getting through to get to book 3”, am pleased to say however, I don’t agree, I enjoyed it & am now moving on to book 3. Great characters with a little bits of amusing traits & idiosyncrasies

Really enjoyed listening to this

Excellent narration, all the food descriptions made me very hungry and the accents were solid.

Nicely written and well researched without taking itself too seriously. I really enjoyed this, and was left feeling contented and cozy.

A magical cozy mystery

I loved this book. I know that some will criticise the simple story style but for me there literally was a magic about the story and the story telling. Just lovely, easy listening with a few twists that keeps the listener wondering...

I love this series, light hearted and fanciful story with loveable characters through each book. Wasn’t quite expecting this one to end so soon and so abruptly so onto the next book! Love the performance and jovial sounding narrater too.

Great story again! Looking forward to the next one.
