Jousting and Justice - A Review & Giveaway

 Review


Jousting and Justice by Elizabeth Pantley
The Fifth Destiny Falls Mystery & Magic Book 

All of Destiny Falls is excited. Everyone is invited to a medieval festival on the forbidden island. Given the opportunity to see her parents, how can Hayden resist? Since her even her grandmother is going it must be safe. Mustn't it? Her exuberance is dampened when Hayden makes an awful discovery. Her office has been ransacked and there's a dead body in the back. Whoever broke in was looking for something, but what? Who is the murdered man? Will Hayden and her family and friends solve the murder and still enjoy a festival away from Destiny Falls? Or does a certain witch have other plans?

A medieval faire! What fun. Having been to a faire or two in my time I was as excited to read about one as the citizens of Destiny Falls were to actually attend one. Excitement and energy suffuse the pages by vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling. I was fully immersed in the story with its fun characters and intriguing storyline.

As in previous books in the series, there is a self contained mystery which is resolved by the end of the story and an over arcing mystery which continues to develop, flourish, and grow through each book. While I enjoy each mystery, I am enthralled by the bigger mystery that is Destiny Falls. The author is also very clever in formatting her series in this way. The primary mystery is solved, so readers are content, but she's still able to leave cliff hangers so readers, like me, are desperate to know what happens next and are ready to devour the next book whenever it is released.

The fifth Destiny Falls Mystery is full of surprises. Secrets are slowly revealed, some in jaw dropping ways. New revelations about a villain come to surface and we have more of a clue of just who is pulling the strings...maybe.

JOUSTING AND JUSTICE is a book that stirs the heart strings, values friends and family for better or worse, makes you grin, and keeps you coming back for more. I can't wait to read what happens next!

About Jousting and Justice

Jousting and Justice: Destiny Falls Mystery & Magic
Paranormal Cozy Mystery 5th in Series
Better Beginnings, Inc. (February 15, 2022)
Number of Pages 315

An invitation to a medieval festival. A ferry ride to a mysterious island. A scheming, inept witch. An office break-in, an unidentified body, and a string of suspects. Can Hayden, her brave, sassy cat, Latifa, and the people of Destiny Falls solve the mystery and enjoy the festival?

Jousting and Justice follows the series format of combining two stories that blend into one. A murder mystery and the island mystery.

The Island Mystery: Hayden and all her friends get an invitation to a medieval festival - but it's on "the forbidden island." It's too enticing to pass up. Of course, strange things will happen once they get there! . . . You'll also learn the truth about the witch's sister!

The Murder Mystery: A dead body shows up in the most shocking place. First, they need to figure out who this dead guy is. Then, who killed him and why. There are so many twists and turns on the way to the answers! But we know that Hayden, Latifa, and their family and friends will figure it out and justice will be served.

Hayden’s many adventures in Destiny Falls will keep you guessing with each book in this intriguing series.
