A Gargoyle's Guide to Murder

Accidental Alchemist Mysteries, Book 9

De: Gigi Pandian

Narrado por: Julia Motyka

A vanished body. A deadly bookshop. A country house party full of suspects. Can a living gargoyle and an alchemist decipher the clues before poisoned pages claim another victim?

Dorian Robert-Houdin is used to living his life in the shadows, his existence only known to a few trusted friends. When a dangerous book from his past resurfaces, he follows his closest confidante, alchemist Zoe Faust, from Oregon to England to investigate.

Before he can examine the magical book, Dorian witnesses a murder amidst the foggy lanes of Oxford. But when he takes Zoe to the scene, there’s no body—and no evidence a crime has taken place. Using his unique skills as a gargoyle, Dorian sets out to solve the baffling crime nobody else believes occurred.

When Dorian and Zoe discover a dead man in a bookshop filled with arsenic-laced books, the victim isn’t a stranger—he’s connected to the vanishing crime scene. The trail leads to a country house party where a group of bibliophile suspects have gathered and a storm is brewing. Could the killer be the mercurial Agatha Christie scholar? The prickly literature professor? The secretive rare books expert? With an unscrupulous book thief lurking, can sleuths Dorian and Zoe unmask a murderer before the next page brings them to a perilous end?

Perfect for fans of the quirky charm and found family of Only Murders in the Building and books by Ellery Adams and Travis Baldree. Don't miss the new novel in the award-winning cozy fantasy mystery series from USA Today bestselling author Gigi Pandian!

I love Dorian

This is one of my favorite series, Gigi didn’t disappoint with this latest book <3!

Another adventure with a favorite author's characters!

Spoiler alert: I was relieved when everyone was eventually healed. whew! Listening to the gourmet vegan meals made by their "French" chef always makes me wish I could be at their table too.

the way she Blended the past in the future and the continuing characters that she has developed accentuate the story

he definitely need to read the whole series otherwise you would definitely miss key points even though it's still is a great story

Great series

I love this series. can't wait for the next book!!! the characters are easy to get attached to

I love Dorian’s adventures

I’m always excited when i see another book in the series pop up about Dorian. His misadventures are cozy cute and funny. I definitely love these books

Another great story!

Loved the adventure and all the new characters. I can’t wait for the next book!

Very well organized. Keeps your attention the whole time.

I love this author and the narrator makes the book even better. Definitely worth listening to.

I love these stories about Dorian!

I love this mystery series with it's very own gargoyle whom acts like Poirot. Great job once again Gigi! Keep up the great work!

Dorian! Always Dorian!

Im obsessed with Dorian and how cute and bratty he is at the same time. I could read his commentary forever. I enjoyed the mystery and the larger story as well!! One of my favorite series!

Better and Better!

Zoe, Max, and Dorian are as charming, clever, and, in Dorian’s case, overconfident as ever. This series brings me back again to characters I absolutely love spending time with. A Gargoyle’s Guide to Murder is an interesting addition to the series because there are fewer plants and more plot twists since Zoe is away from her garden. This was complimented perfectly by the Oxford setting. I enjoyed every moment and cannot wait for the next book in the series. Highly recommended!
