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.

this is another enjoyable book in this series. is well-read and has a good field to the book. Not the most moving book I've read this year but entertaining.

Another enjoyable Adventure<br />

I just completed the third book in this series. Was a combination of laughter, travel, fighting for life, and death. These were all wrapped up in alchemy. It also includes a very lovable Gargoyle character!
I enjoy this Author and even though I have to leave this story line, I have started another​ group of her books. This is a series of at least 6 books. I hate leaving a set of great characters but looking at the next series, I'll be meeting another bunch of intelligent and interesting characters. This series includes a pirate!
The reader is easy to listen to and extremely good at presenting the different characters. (I always try to hear the voice before choosing an audible now.) I would much rather read the book if the reader grates on my sensibilities! I will follow her too, since I enjoy her presentation.
wishing I knew how to share finished books with Goodreads. " (

Sigh, It is finished.

Enjoyable but depends a bit much on dragging out and/or epeating main character's inner concerns.

Enjoyable but drags

I can't get enough of this series. The narrator is perfect. I love Dorian and want a gargoyle best friend, too.

Love this series

Love the French gargoyle. Because I enjoyed all the other characters I forgave the main character for all her fault. This author seems to think all female main characters get lost in thought and tune out of conversations. She had another main character do it in another series. I found it odd that the love interest wouldn't confide in his girlfriend through all three books. I think I would have found a new playmate. I did really like the premise of the main character. Having eternal youth through the philosopher stone. I love the tie in to a wealth of alchemy background.

Cute Fun Series!
