THE ELUSIVE ELIXIR by Gigi Pandian
The Third Accidental Alchemist Mystery
Shocking truths from the past are revealed as Zoe travels to France to
hunt for a cure for Dorian who continues to turn into stone. As Zoe
copes with these revelations upon her return to Portland, even more
secrets are revealed and the dangers of not untrue alchemy prove deadly.
Will Zoe be able to save Dorian without sacrificing herself, or anyone
else? Will Max be able to accept all that Zoe is?
In this third book in the Accidental Alchemist Mystery series Zoe is faced with multiple trials. In trying to find the key to save Dorian, while keeping her identity as an alchemist quiet, she is confronted with information that challenges what she believed and believes to be true.
Ultimately, this novel is about sacrifice. What are you willing to do to save someone else, or yourself?
THE ELUSIVE ELIXIR is a tautly written mystery that combines the vagaries of truth with sacrifice. Gigi Pandian has the ability to transport you into her world with visceral details. I believed I was actually climbing the steps of Notre Dame, watching the bees swarm with the scent of honey and cloves in the air, and feeling the desperation of her characters. Yet everything is not all dark and dire, there is humor here as well, especially as we get to know Leopold. This third book in the series held me captivated and left me satisfied with an intriguing whiff of things to come.

Sounds fun. I'll have to read up on the first two books too.
