Eye of the Gargoyle

Written by Wendy Webb

Narrated by Tanya Eby

At the end of a metaphysical conference, reluctant attendee Camille Dare discovers an envelope with her name on it. Filled with travel documents, a photograph, and bloody scarf material, the source of the envelope and its contents remain anonymous, but the directive is clear: Find the missing person in this very unusual case.

The missing person, Katherine Agurre, comes from a high profile, influential and wealthy family who has long since become estranged from her. Although they’ve never met, Camille is worried about Katherine’s wellbeing, as are others in the metaphysical community, including a tarot reader, an astrologer, a retired world traveler, and an internationally known psychic.

A growing obsession with the missing person case and her own quest for self-understanding compel Camille to begin a trip to meet people she never knew and locations she never expected to visit.

Inside the Munster cathedral in the Old Town square of Freiburg, Germany, Camille meets a strange man who wears a collection of religious icons. India is an assault not only to the senses but to everything Camille finds comfortable and safe. She doesn't know anyone in Asheville, North Carolina, but drives toward the small mountain city with little more than the cryptic astrological chart that has led her there.

Who is the anonymous source of these travels, and why was Camille the target? If she’s real, if she’s alive, can anyone find Katherine Agurre if she doesn’t want to be found?

Camille started her travels by choice until there is no choice anymore. Each step of the way raises the stakes, not just for Katherine but for Camille as well.

Reviews for Eye of the Gargoyle

[Lillie Sperry · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Don’t waste your time listening to this book. The narrator sounded like a robot and was just awful.

[KRISTEN LOLO · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I love this author,however, this audio book was difficult to follow. The reader was very monotone in some places and it was a labor of love to get through it. I feel as if this book may have been one of her first. There just wasn’t a strong connection to her character’s.

[Nicole R Klungle · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This book reads as a travelogue with an implausible thriller basted onto the end. Where the reader might expect increasing tension and rising stakes, instead there is extensive description of setting and the protagonist's observations. Even immediate action is related primarily via internal monologue detailing the mason character's reflections and emotions.

This is rambling manifest with minor resemblance to a mystery. A terrible review of India, seeks to portray a higher level consciousness, poorly supported. “Humanification” ha! Made up words to force a vague concept. Very disappointing for this listener.
