The Alchemist of Riddle and Ruin

An Accidental Alchemist Mystery, Book 6

By: Gigi Pandian

Narrated by: Julia Motyka

A riddle, a game, and a clue in the garden. Don’t miss the thrilling sixth book in the award-winning Accidental Alchemist Mystery series, perfect for fans of cozy mysteries and urban fantasy.

When Zoe Faust sees the ghost of a murdered young woman, is it really a spirit—or a flesh and blood woman who stopped aging because she’s a fellow alchemist?

Sixteen years ago, high school student Ridley Price discovered a secret she planned to reveal through a party game—but someone killed her first. The baffling crime was never solved. Zoe’s friend Heather has always wondered: Which of the seven guests at the party killed Ridley? When the newly appeared ghost turns dangerous, threatening people they love, Zoe teams up with her gargoyle roommate, Dorian, to unmask the supposed specter.

My favorite series!

I can’t wait for the next book! No spoilers but is something going to happen at the opening of The Alchemy of Tea? I can’t wait to find out!

Good story

I loved this book because it was focus on another character besides the usual characters in the book.

Just the right mix

I have enjoyed this series since first reading/listening to The Accidental Alchemist. It has just the right blend of mystery, YA and Adult, real-world and alchemy. Gigi Pandian provides the perfect blend of humor, romance, and family that makes the story real. The story is well written, and while it is set up in such a way that you do not have to read all the books in order-- it does add to the impact of events.

Delightful, as always!

Still Enjoyed It

This Audible title was good but it lost some of its allure when I was less than one-third through and figured out who the killer was. Although that was a little disappointing, it did not dampen my desire for more in this series.

Another great addition

Gigi Pandian has created another great addition to her Accidental Alchemist Mystery series. Zoe Faust and her gargoyle sidekick Dorian Robert-Houdinare on the case sorting through the clues to find answers to.
Julia Motyka, as always, gave a stellar performance as she breathed life into the storyline and gave each character their own distinct voice.
I highly look forward to the next installment in this series.

Love every story!

I’ve loved The Accidental Alchemist books since I read the very first one! I’ve anxiously read each book, waiting with anticipation for this last book to be released! After the ending I just “read” (audiobook) I will really be waiting for the next story to be written!! Superbly done. The narrator is top notch and I love her voice! I am a forever fan of Gigi Pandian!!

Still fun. Live the narrator. Same story

The story is not very complex it doesn’t really change from book to book but I always love the warm feel in the friendships that are always developed in these books.

Wonderful

I still can’t get enough of Zoe and Dorian and there Merry band of misfits. All together watching each others backs. Closer than some families. Wait till Max finds out the “state” of Dorian’s shyness lol.

Great characters

I enjoy this book and the series because the characters not only stop to think about the mystery going on. They also take the time to enjoy peace and tranquility. I truly enjoy Dorian the gargoyle with all his thoughts of food and mystery.

Enjoyable, as always!

I check often to see if the next book is released. I was thrilled to see this one was ready as a pre-order. I’m sad that I completed it already. I wish Gigi Pandian could write one a month. I love the the characters so much. The narration is exceptional as well. I’m already aching for the next one to be released.
