Magic, Mystery & History

Gigi Pandian has provided me with lots of good reading entertainment over the years.  One of first of her books that I read was the “Accidental Alchemist.”  She continues to write new editions of the Alchemist stories about the Alchemist Zoe Faust.  The story takes place in Portland, Oregon.  Faust’s boyfriend is going to open a tea shop on SE Hawthorne, however, a fire starts before the store can open damaging significant portions of the store.  While Zoe investigates the fire and theft of some tea a murder takes place.  Will Zoe using her alchemy skills and her sidekick, Dorian, be able to solve the crime?  You’ll find the book in print and ebook formats with an audiobook version coming out in November 2023.  You can find the book for sale on Amazon and also learn more about her other Alchemist books.
