Publisher's summary

Murder in a conservatory of carnivorous plants. Bewitching topiary terrors. A sabotaged tea shop. Can Zoe untangle the truth before someone close to her takes the blame?

Alchemist Zoe Faust is no stranger to magical mayhem, but when her boyfriend's new tea shop is vandalized and his special tea blends stolen, she plunges into a baffling mystery to save him. The clues lead Zoe and her gargoyle sidekick Dorian to an eerie mansion high in the Portland hills, filled with creeping carnivorous plants and enigmatic topiary monsters.

When they stumble across a corpse in the conservatory that appears to have been killed by sinister shrubbery, an estranged member of the family is implicated in the murder. Can Zoe use her alchemical skills to catch the real killer while navigating crafty alchemists and killer plants?

The seventh installment in the multi-award-winning Accidental Alchemist Mystery series finds Zoe and Dorian battling carnivorous plants and a killer hiding in the wicked weeds of this closed circle whodunit. Full of laugh-out-loud humor and spine-tingling fantasy elements, this lighthearted mystery will leave listeners racing through the conservatory’s vines to the end of this killer story.

Too Much Tea

I liked this one more than the last book, but the plot revolving around tea was just too much "tea talk" for me. I enjoyed the rest of the plot and the family drama. I missed Brixton and all his spunkyness.

Another fun story laced with alchemy.

If you have truly studied alchemy you would discover its presence everywhere in this book. It does not need to be spelled out step by step. The author does a wonderful job lacing alchemy through this book. Well done.

Nice continuation

I’m glad max and Dorian have finally met. I do feel like we keep repeating pasts facts like everyone’s origins and it’s detracting from the story.

Incredible series

I love EVERYTHING about this series. The characters are quirky and lovable. I so enjoy the interactions between them.

However, I wonder if the books would be as wonderful without the talented narrator bringing them to life. She fills each character with such spirit. I am definitely seeking out more books she narrates because she is brilliant.

If you’re new to the series start from the beginning. Although recaps are given, you really need to follow the development of relationships as they occur.

It's about tea, of course.

I love teas. So I don't care of how many words of tea is used in the novel. Overall, Dorian is still the most attractive character in the story.

Comfort Reading!

Delivered consistent story, scope, and performance for the series. Always enjoyable without being too heavy despite the potentially weighty subject matter of magic and immortality.
