About this listen

A stolen masterpiece. A brilliant woman written out of history. And a recipe for a lost color worth killing for.

In the spellbinding eighth installment of the Accidental Alchemist Mysteries, centuries-old alchemist Zoe Faust and living gargoyle Dorian Robert-Houdin face their most colorful case yet!

Zoe’s hard-won peaceful life is shattered when a devious thief targets her most prized possession—a vibrant portrait that’s her last connection to her long-dead brother. It’s a painting that also holds the secrets of a forgotten artist who created recipes for the most breathtaking colors ever seen.

When the canvas disappears and murder follows, Zoe must unravel a palette of deadly puzzles. With her quick-witted sidekick Dorian and their eclectic group of friends, Zoe races to catch a killer, evade a secret society, and recover her beloved painting. But the quest is bigger than solving a present-day crime. Can Zoe finally set the historical record straight for a gifted painter erased from the history of art?

Bursting with vivid characters, fascinating history, and touches of whimsical magic and culinary alchemy, The Alchemist of Brushstrokes and Brimstone is a cozy mystery that will leave you breathlessly gripped until the final stroke.

A little too far

I love this series but I thought this story was a bit too over the top with 'intent' aspect of alchemy.

I just LOVED this!!!

I could go on about this series for hours, but I will spare you. Because of my work I have to spend a lot of time in the non-fiction world. My morning and evening commute, however, are MY time! I like to listen to fantasy and things that are purely for pleasure while I’m driving. Between Gigi Pandian’s excellent stories and Julia Motyka’s masterful narrations, I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Truth be told, Dorian is my ‘man crush.’ Or, ‘gargoyle crush,’ as the case may be.

The relationship between the characters.

I have read all installments of the series and I am always sad to finish as I want to just keep reading. I look forward to reading the next book, hope it is soon.

The Best Yet!

I found this series a couple of years ago and loved it from the start. The characters are rich, the narration amazing and because I am an Oregonian, it’s fun to see the local settings woven throughout the plots. This book has proved to be my favorite, so far. I can’t wait for the next!
