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.

Most enjoyable. Characters and the stories.

Totally love the stories and the characters have depth. The Narrator could read the Dictionary to me.

Disappointing Sequel

What I found most irritating about this novel is that it constantly repeated itself. Does author presume that we have are so forgetful they have to constantly revisit ideas and themes that are explained not only in this book but also in the first book. If this was a light touch on a theme it would be appreciated and understood however the author goes into in-depth explanations almost repeated themselves word for word not adding to the facts at all.
Further more I feel that the push to constantly add reference to what meals and snacks are being consumed, is a little over the top, I’m not watching Tampopo.
