When this club selects a book, magic happens!

This book club does more than read their books – they are absorbed right into the story to become the amateur sleuths! To exit the book and get back home, they need to solve the mystery and reach The End.

In this journey, they travel to a mountaintop ski town to experience the enchanting setting of a famous film festival. They’ll meet movie stars, producers, and directors. They’ll watch a film premiere, go skiing, and eat at fancy restaurants. It’s all very glamorous and exciting – until a famous actress disappears.

The book club is on the case! They discover clues in the most unusual way - by putting together enchanted jigsaw puzzles.
As usual, the club finds plenty of time to enjoy the unique setting of their journey, as they put together the mystery – one puzzle piece at a time.

Puzzles and Premieres by Elizabeth Pantley is the latest book that features a film festival in a snowy mountain town. Sounds heavenly.

Will the Book Club solve this new mystery without getting in trouble?

The Book Club

Paige is still figuring out the new ways to deal with the book club without her aunt Glo to help out. Including when they are in a mystery that deals with snow, and who should drive the van that comes with the inn, if they need to use it to get around. She is doing a great job of keeping the group focused on the mystery. Atticus isn’t that hard to do that with since he’s usually the one who loves to focus on the mystery to figure out why they are there and the clues. The others are harder to keep on track, especially when Zell and Frank get them wanting to do something different.

Those two troublemakers usually are the cause of my laughing fits while I’m reading the book. However, I love all the book club members.

The Mystery

Ms. Pantley has the book club this time going to the snowy mountain town of Jigsaw Valley to solve a mystery around a film festival. The mystery this time was a challenging one to figure out when it actually started, but it was still an excellent one. I figured out who did it, but not the reason why. The whole reason for it wasn’t that smart, but that’s usually how the culprit usually gets caught. I do have to hand it to Ms. Pantley for making me pay attention, though, to triple-check that I actually got it right this time around.

Five Stars

My rating for Puzzles and Premieres by Elizabeth Pantley is five stars, and I highly recommend it. Ms. Pantley is a great author, and I love every new installment of this series. I loved this one, and especially reading the new romance between Atticus and Paige.

Another character I love seeing is Bob from the Destiny Falls Mystery and Magic series. I was wondering, Ms. Pantley, will we be seeing a new book in this series soon?
