Puzzles and Premieres (Magical Mystery Book Club # 10) by Elizabeth Pantley

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.

Reviews from book 9 of the Magical Mystery Book Club

“I can’t put these books down. I pull late-nighters just to see what will happen next!”

“Truly amazing, unique, fun – and totally twisted – in a super hilarious way.”

“These books are like Pringles. Once you pop ... you won't want to stop reading!”

“I shock myself by becoming so engrossed in this series that the outside world just slips away!”

“I have been waiting anxiously for the newest book of this amazing series, and I was not disappointed! I had a hard time putting it down – which is the way it was with all the books in this series.”

“I’m hoping that Pantley has a million of these books left to write. I can’t imagine any other books that have kept my interest this long. The characters are so much fun, and the story line is always fresh and exciting.  (Summary via Goodreads)

Puzzles and Premieres is the tenth book in the Magical Mystery Book Club series written by Elizabeth Pantley so I'm not going to take the time to explain the club and the characters.  Pantley provides that before you begin Chapter 1.  And seeing as this is the tenth book I am hoping you are like me and know all about the club, the characters and their previous adventures.  If not. and this the first book you are reading in this series, that's fine.  But don't be surprised if you fall in love and want to go back and read the others.

Okay ...... In Puzzles andd Premieres the group with their friendly library Olm choose the next book to venture into and the magical library whisks them into the book.  They find themselves in a winter wonderland at a ski resort that is hosting a film festival.  The Snapdragon Inn, as always, is transformed to fit into the story.

The name of the town is Jigsaw Valley and the group finds that in order to know what to focus on, they have to solve a jigsaw puzzle that magically appears.  Unfortunately with every puzzle they work on, they find that some pieces are missing and have to go to the place that the puzzle reveals and they will find the pieces there.  The first puzzle takes the group to a vintage clothing shop where they come across Gloria ... who happens to be a ghost who they can see and talk to and Mollie is overjoyed !! 

At first the group believes they are there to look into Gloria's death but when another puzzle leads them to a cabin they find an up and coming actress dead in the snow .....  

The group with the additional of Gloria works well together and can investigate a number of things as they split up into groups.  And boy is this one a HOOT !!!  It's amazing how this group can get anything done with all the different personalities but they do !!

I would love to dissect Pantley's brain to see how she comes up with these storylines and keeps the series exciting and the readers on their toes.  The Magical Mystery Book Club series is one of my favorite series with so much to love.  Anytime I can open one of these books, I know that I will be in for an exciting adventure !!!
