A stolen masterpiece. A brilliant woman written out of history. And a recipe for a lost color worth killing for.
In the captivating eighth book of the Accidental Alchemist Mysteries, centuries-old alchemist Zoe Faust and living gargoyle Dorian Robert-Houdin encounter their most colorful case yet!
Zoe’s peaceful life is shattered when a cunning thief targets her most treasured possession - a vibrant portrait that serves as her final link to her deceased brother. This painting also holds the secrets of a forgotten artist who devised formulas for the most dazzling colors ever witnessed.
As the canvas vanishes and murder ensues, Zoe must solve a range of deadly puzzles. Alongside her quick-witted companion Dorian and their diverse circle of allies, Zoe races to apprehend a murderer, outwit a clandestine society, and retrieve her cherished painting. However, this mission goes beyond resolving a contemporary crime. Can Zoe ultimately rectify the historical record for a talented painter expunged from the annals of art?
Overflowing with dynamic characters, intriguing history, and hints of enchanting magic and culinary alchemy, The Alchemist of Brushstrokes and Brimstone is a cozy mystery that will keep you eagerly flipping through pages until the very end.
