By: Gigi Pandian

Narrated by: Julia Motyka

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?

Continuation of a Really Good Storyline

I very much enjoy the Accidental Alchemist books. The small criticism I have is the repeated mispronunciation of the name of Zoey’s current state of residence. Most Oregonians will be quite put out if you pronounce it ore-e-GONE instead of ORE-i-gun. :-)

my girls and I have listened to the entire series. we spend a lot of time in the car driving to and from events and activities. we've fallen in love with Dorian. we all say Bon! whenever something is good.

Cozy and full of information

It’s a great book to get a cozy mystery feel and to learn information about alchemy!

Meh

This one kinda got on my nerves...It was a little too cutsey by far. I believe she may have run her course for me.

Such a fun series!!!

I absolutely love this series. It is a bit hoke but it is so much fun. It’s wonderful to have something so enjoyable to take your mind off of the rest of the world for awhile!!! What fantastic strong characters! I hope this won’t be the end of the series.
