Summary

Murder in a conservatory of carnivorous plants. Bewitching topiary terrors. A sabotaged tea shop. Can Zoe untangle the truth before someone close to her takes the blame?

Alchemist Zoe Faust is no stranger to magical mayhem, but when her boyfriend's new tea shop is vandalized and his special tea blends stolen, she plunges into a baffling mystery to save him. The clues lead Zoe and her gargoyle sidekick Dorian to an eerie mansion high in the Portland hills, filled with creeping carnivorous plants and enigmatic topiary monsters.

When they stumble across a corpse in the conservatory that appears to have been killed by sinister shrubbery, an estranged member of the family is implicated in the murder. Can Zoe use her alchemical skills to catch the real killer while navigating crafty alchemists and killer plants?

The seventh installment in the multi-award-winning Accidental Alchemist Mystery series finds Zoe and Dorian battling carnivorous plants and a killer hiding in the wicked weeds of this closed circle whodunit. Full of laugh-out-loud humor and spine-tingling fantasy elements, this lighthearted mystery will leave listeners racing through the conservatory’s vines to the end of this killer story.

Buy The Alchemist of Monsters and Mayhem to unearth the secrets of the conservatory today!

Fact and fiction perfectly blended.

After listening to the other books in the series, you get used to the characters and their voices, mannerisms, and personalities. Getting totally immersed in their lives and experiences is like you could be living your life with them whilst listening. Very entertaining and enjoyable. I’ve listened to these so many time that I can’t wait for the next instalment. Only one problem, Nicolas has change accents in this book to semi British, German with a touch of Russian…….. Keep up the good work Gigi, these stories and made me smile during my darkest days and for that I thank you. I’m now going to put the kettle on for a cup of Yorkshire Tea. X

Monsters and Mayhem

A truly beautiful and unique novel, with new characters and old, bring families together and so much more, it’s also stunning how much you learn about tea, and finally how max reacts to his first meeting with the master chef dorian.

It’s also amazing how Brixton and his friends are not the key players for this beautiful and inspiring story that twists and turns, with so many different side stories introduced and just so much more.

A truly unique journey and story from the amazing author, I love it and can’t wait to see what they do next.

Another great instalment

I really enjoy these books. The stories are cosy, even with the murders, and Zoe is a great MC. I’ve listened to them all and am excited to hear there will be another one to go, at least :)

great fun

I love this series! I didn't guess the mystery at all and was hooked to the end waiting to find out who did it.
I missed Brixton, Veronica and Ethan though :(

Wonderful

The crafting of a good story must be arduous, but Gigi Pandian makes it seem effortless. The flow, the intricate plot points, the characters and the dialogue are expertly woven into these timeless stories.

Simply Wonderful!!

Thank you Gigi, your writing in this series is simply wonderful!! It was a delight to see number 8 to be available to listen to and have devoured it far too quickly. I love the detail underpinning this series, especially enjoyed getting to know everyone more fully in this book. I am excited for number 9!!

It’s a really good series but…

The series is great. Very different from other books I go through so a nice breather from other genres and great fun to sink into. However, once again the author seems to like to remind her readers every chapter of things we already know about. You’d think by this far in, we don’t need to be reminded that Dorian is a living Gargoyle. It’s not the worst but every chapter seems to be “by the way, if you didn’t know, I’m 300 years old” a fun book for sure, not the best of the series. Max’s detective skills are on existent in this book, which is a shame.

fragmented yet knitted, integrated,creating colourful,exciting tapestry chaos/ reason.

the way that circumstances put people together, who wanted to meet but were reluctant to. how judgement and our own prejudice as well as ideas influence what we accept as reality and that challenging those are not only a good idea, but it broadens our mind, soul and our understanding of ourselves as well as others.
