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.

A good listen

characters to care about , a growing soft spot for a gargoyle. Well read with a nice mystery in each book together with a further underlying larger mystery unraveling in the quest to save a friend. A good listen for all ages

If you start with book 1 in the series… you won’t regret it

I’ve just finished this book and am going to begin the 3rd book in the series in about 5 mins…
There’s no blood, guts & gore or gun shots and sex in these books… just a delightfully good story. I am actually quite attached to Dorian the gargoyle now…

Excellent over all!

I started listening to the first book about a week ago, and this second book yesterday. Have found it incredibly difficult to "put down", so here I am at 1.30am having finished it! Looking forward to the rest of the series for sure :)

A magical cozy mystery

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.

Another great listen

A great listen, wonderful characterization and brilliantly performed. I get lost in the story so it's a great accompaniment to housework!
