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.

My thoughts on Puzzles and Premieres
Elizabeth Pantley has done it again! Puzzles and Premieres captures all the charm, humor, and heart that readers have come to expect from the Magical Mystery Book Club series. This time, the club is swept into a glitzy film-festival setting that’s equal parts Hollywood dazzle and small-town charm.
The magic system—jumping into the story and solving mysteries to return—is still as delightful as ever. I especially loved the enchanted puzzles in this one. What a creative and cozy way to build suspense!
The club members feel like old familiar friends at this point—each with their quirks, but all completely endearing. Their conversations feel natural, and the way they tackle each mystery together keeps the story moving with heart and humor. I love the balance between cozy mystery fun and just enough magic to keep things interesting, without ever venturing into overly paranormal territory, aside from the traveling library and the talking cat.
If you like your mysteries light, a little magical, and filled with good company, this is a great one to curl up with for a weekend read.
Unless otherwise noted, the book is from my personal library or Kindle Unlimited.
