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.

…were jumping with joy at another book.

I love the narration and the storylines in this series. Such warmth and, as with alchemy, intention is everything. You can feel the love the author has for her characters.

As I haven’t listened to the series for over a year it was good to catch up and I appreciated the reminders.

Great story and fantastic narrative. This is the perfect follow on from the previous Alchemist books. Worth the wait.

Another fantastic story.

I really like the blend of history and fantasy that this series brings. My only problem was in Gwendoline ,my hated full name being the preferred version by the character 😱

Another good installment of this series.

I'm a big fan of this series, although do confess to yelling "don't be so stupid " to our erstwhile heroine at one point. This is another excellent Installment, a clever story, and I'm loving the way the characters, thanks to the excellent narrator, have become old friends to me as I've listened over the last few years. I also long to sit down for breakfast with Dorian, who is, of course, my favourite gargoyle.

Buckle up for the twists and turns
