✦ Synopsis
A modern tale of ancient intrigue from a USA Today bestselling author When Zoe Faust—herbalist, alchemist, and recent transplant to Portland, Oregon—begins unpacking her bags, she can't help but notice she's picked up a stow away: a living, breathing, three-and-half-foot gargoyle. Dorian Robert-Houdin is no simple automaton, nor is he a homunculus; in fact, he needs Zoe's help to decipher a centuries-old text that explains exactly what he is. Zoe, who's trying to put her alchemical life behind her, isn't so sure she can help. But after a murder victim is discovered on her front porch, Zoe realized she's tangled up in ancient intrigue that can't be ignored. Includes recipes! Praise: "A magical, whimsical cozy that will delight readers who enjoy Juliet Blackwell and Heather Weber mysteries!" –Avery Aames, aka Daryl Wood Gerber "Take one centuries-old alchemist, add an intriguing murder mystery, mix in a few tips for French cooking, add a dash of herbal brews and a little history of alchemy, and The Accidental Alchemist is a recipe for a great read." – Juliet Blackwell
