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. Praise for the Accidental Alchemist Mysteries: “A cast more fun than an episode of Portlandia.”—RT Book Reviews (1/2) “Hits high marks for a modern twist on an ancient practice. Amusing supporting characters and historical details solidify this engaging mystery.”—Library Journal "[A] lighthearted supernatural mystery.”—Publishers Weekly
I enjoyed the 3rd (last?) installment of this series. It was a bit slow but still well written. Dorian is my favorite gargoyle and if I had him around to cook for me that wouldn't be a bad thing.
