Publisher's summary

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.

Enjoying these stories.

This is light reading with a fun twist. A coincidence while reading happened which made this all the more interesting. I came upon an article that gave an update on the renovation after the fire. it also contained a history of when the cathedral was started to be planned, and the interesting historical information they are learning about ancient builders expertise. All this added to the birth of a gargoyle. Can't wait to start the next book!

I love Dorian

This is an adorable novella mystery set in my favorite city, Paris...a little bittersweet with the focus on Notre-Dame after the fire...I just wish it were longer, a bit more developed. Very enjoyable nonetheless

Love the narrator

The continuity between books warms me. I love this series. And it’s a bit like getting to visit all the places the characters talk about.

The Perfect Crime

Zoey proves, beyond a doubt, that she is an expert detective. I really enjoyed this adventure with Zoe and Dorian. Once again, Pandian wakes up the mind and the palate.
