About this listen

A riddle, a game, and a clue in the garden. Don’t miss the thrilling sixth book in the award-winning Accidental Alchemist Mystery series, perfect for fans of cozy mysteries and urban fantasy.

When Zoe Faust sees the ghost of a murdered young woman, is it really a spirit—or a flesh and blood woman who stopped aging because she’s a fellow alchemist?

Sixteen years ago, high school student Ridley Price discovered a secret she planned to reveal through a party game—but someone killed her first. The baffling crime was never solved. Zoe’s friend Heather has always wondered: Which of the seven guests at the party killed Ridley? When the newly appeared ghost turns dangerous, threatening people they love, Zoe teams up with her gargoyle roommate, Dorian, to unmask the supposed specter.

Beautifully written and narrated, keeps you guessing right up to the end…
I love the way the author talks about herbs and how they can be used as well as the colourful characters and unusual sleuthing.

Excellent as always.

I love the accidental alchemist series and this new story did not disappoint. At times it seemed like the editor wasn't paying attention and allowed the characters to repeat themselves unnecessarily, but a minor distraction on the whole.
Julia Motyka is an excellent narrator, she brings the characters to life perfectly.
I can't wait for the next I book to find out how Max reacts yo meeting Dorian.

another great story

I've loved all of Gigi Pandian's alchemy stories, so far and can't wait to read the 7th book. The narrator has done an excellent job of bringing the characters to life, but it's annoying to hear about 'erbs instead of herbs. Book 6 is my second favourite after book 1!!

Great story

Another good addition to the series. Engaging characters and an interesting fantasy. Recommended urban fantasy without ghouls, shifters and other boring creatures.

Enjoyable

A fantastic book incorporating two for my favourite passions food and murder mystery. Dorian always makes me laugh and inspires me to be more creative with my cooking while Zoe journeys encourages me to be patient, have courage and work smart towards my goals. I love every book in the series. A great read and reread.
Julia is an exceptional narrator that brings so much life to the story and characters especially Dorian.

Always a lovely story can’t wait for the next one.

I stumbled across the Alchemist series when trying to find a copy of Paulo Coelho’s Alchemist to listen to, gave it a shot and enjoyed every one of the series. Well worth the punt!!

Another gem,,,,

This was an enjoyable continuation of the adventures of Zoe , Dorian and their various companions and the performance was excellent as usual.
There did seem to be a lot more repetition between chapters than in previous stories with the same observations being made over and over again by the same character, almost as if the editor hadn't quite done their job properly in picking up superfluous prose in this story. Regardless it was an interesting mystery as usual.

enjoyable

I have listened to all of these so was excited to see a new title.
Easy listening, the narrator has a great voice and pronunciation. Great story lines and can be stand alone books if you haven’t listened to the series … but you really should 😘

Just what I needed and expected from this series
