New on the Mystery Bookshelf during January 2016 …

The Masquerading Magician by Gigi Pandian, A Zoe Faust, Accidental Alchemist Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Midnight Ink

  

Deciphering an ancient alchemy book is more difficult than Zoe Faust bargained for. She'd much rather be gardening and exploring her new hometown of Portland, Oregon — but time is running out for living gargoyle Dorian Robert-Houdin. If Zoe isn't able to unlock an unusual alchemy book's secrets soon, the French gargoyle will remain awake but trapped in stone forever.

When Zoe gives herself a rare night out to attend a classic magic show, she realizes the stage magicians are much more than they seem. A murder at the theater leads back to a string of unsolved robberies and murders in Portland's past, and a mystery far more personal than Zoe and Dorian ever imagined.

— The Masquerading Magician by Gigi Pandian
