Summary
The Goonies meets Charade in the latest Accidental Alchemist Mystery.
A blackmailer obsessed with gold. A boyfriend who’s more than he seems. And a treasure hidden on the Oregon coast.
Alchemist Zoe Faust’s mentor Nicolas Flamel is back in her life, but catching up with him will have to wait. An elusive blackmailer has threatened to expose a dangerous alchemical secret. Zoe’s boyfriend is out of town protecting secrets of his own. So when rumors of a treasure map reach Zoe, she turns her back on what sounds like no more than a game.
Zoe’s mischievous living gargoyle best friend Dorian, who thinks of himself as a modern-day Poirot, is convinced the map is real - and that it’s the key to proving himself as valuable to Zoe as her human family. With the help of the neighborhood teenagers, Dorian sets out to find the treasure, risking more than he planned in the process. Rumors, treasures, and secrets intersect to unearth more than Zoe could have dreamed - and could leave her family changed forever.
Can Zoe stop the threat to the family unit she’s created?

Running Out Of Steam
Had the feeling that book 5 was running out of steam in respect of the storyline. A little too much padding and repetition of information from previous books. But still an enjoyable read for fans of Gigi Pandian and beautifully narrated as always by Julia Motyka

Hope the next adventure will be a bit less rushed at the end.
Love this series but am honestly not sure the extra characters really work, seems like dorien is being treated like a teenager which to me doesn’t really work. The end seemed rushed compared to the build up. Maybe deadlines or editing got in the way.
Still love it though and hope it continues, still definitely worth your time, performance was sublime as always.

Really enjoyable
I’m really enjoying this series of books. This one was a bit too recappy (probably not a real word but you know what I mean). But still really fun.

Fantastic
I hope that there will be ma y more in this series. The stories are benign, but very engaging. It's a long time since I enjoyed a series like I have this one. Brilliantly narrated.

This was a lot of fun!
I love Dorian and having him off doing his own thing was really good fun. I don't want to give anything away. I binged this in two days. Gigi Pandian is one of my new favourite authors. As for Julia Motyka's performance. it was fantastic as always. The story was interesting, I liked the concept. I want to see Max and Dorian to have an adventure together. I think the banter would be amazing!

Love the series
I was looking forward to this book and though I enjoyed it overall it feels like the weakest story and as some others have pointed out, there is a relatively high level of recapping the backstory, which is tiresome. I love the characters, particularly Dorian and I will be reading the next book because overall it is a really enjoyable series.
