About this listen

A trip to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. An art heist. And a locked-room mystery.

Alchemist Zoe Faust and her impish gargoyle sidekick Dorian Robert-Houdin travel to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to investigate a mysterious discovery found in the wreckage of the tragic fire: a long-lost gargoyle illustration drawn by Victor Hugo himself.

When the work of art is stolen under impossible circumstances, Dorian must use his “little gray cells” — not to mention his culinary skills — to solve the crime and discover the true origins of where he came from.

Love armchair travel, Paris, and humorous mysteries? Don’t miss this Accidental Alchemist novella from USA Today bestselling and Anthony Award-winning author Gigi Pandian.

Includes delicious vegan recipes!

The Lost Gargoyle of Paris is an Accidental Alchemist Mystery novella and is less than half the length of the novels in the series. It stands alone, but if you want to hear more about Zoe, Dorian, and their misfit friends back in Portland, Oregon, check out The Accidental Alchemist, The Masquerading Magician, The Elusive Elixir, and The Alchemist's Illusion.

A Great Listen

A thoroughly enjoyable introduction to the books by Gigi Pandian. Love the voice of the narrator, it added to the story.

Impeccable performance 👏 slow story.

This sadly turned out to be something I had to really pay attention to the details with in the second half especially, I would not have minded forcing myself through what I had hoped would be an easy listen that I could put on in the background...the story was very slow . not my type of thing at all...possibly too wholesome...not exactly that but similar. I however loved the narration. All in all I learned to quit like Dorian the Gargoyle as I hoped that I would as I have two Gargoyles watching over me in my sitting room. All in all slow but not too awful thanks to the narrator and the lovable Dorian.

Unexpected enjoyment

Decided to give this novella a listen without knowing the author and was pleasantly surprised. Really enjoyable storyline, I’ll definitely be listening to more from this author.

Enjoyable

While not as gripping as the first one in the series that I listened to, it was still enjoyable.
Narration was great.

poor value

the audible business model strikes again. you are paying the same price as the main books in the series but only getting half the length and none of the character development
