It takes place in the town of Jhiljhila. Fourteen-year-old twins- Prash and Nish along with their friend Hriday come across a puzzle carved in a stone. When they reach home, they find their fathers in possession of an old chest that was brought during a flood. The chest would not open and the mystery progresses from there.<\/p>\n<p>The story is very mysterious and makes you intrigued right from the start. It has a few surprises that keep the suspense alive.\u00a0The characters are interesting though we don&#8217;t get to know them deeply since the book is more plot-driven. The story is very well-written. I liked that the writing wasn&#8217;t monotonous which happens frequently with children\/ middle-grade books.<\/p>\n<p>The book is a very light-hearted and refreshing read. I liked that it didn&#8217;t glorify hiding things from the police and handling everything on your own. It showed that it pays off to be honest and to do the right thing.<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed reading this story. It was an engaging mystery that was perfectly wrapped up in the short length. It wasn&#8217;t mind-blowing but there were surprises to keep the interest of the reader. Fans of Enid Blyton&#8217;s mysteries would really enjoy it. Not only for children, I think it&#8217;s a great book to read for adults as well if they need a break from books with heavier content.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Find me on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tavleen_words\/\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tavleensoni\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/user\/show\/32793447-tavleen-kaur\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add the book on Goodreads Buy on Amazon Genre:\u00a0Mystery, Short Story Publisher:\u00a0JINN&#8217;S KREATIV TUTORIA Format:\u00a0Kindle Pages: 55 Publication Date:\u00a0June 1, 2015 Source:\u00a0Review Copy My Rating:\u00a04\u00a0stars<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2018\/06\/19\/a-chests-tale-the-mystery-crackers-book-1-by-jinal-shailesh-doshi-book-review\/#more-11790\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading &#10142; <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">A Chest&#8217;s Tale (The Mystery Crackers Book 1) by Jinal Shailesh Doshi &#8211; Book Review<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[18,85,99,146,226,231,406,453],"class_list":["post-11790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-a-chests-tale","tag-book-review","tag-books","tag-debut-author","tag-indian-authors","tag-indian-books","tag-short-stories","tag-the-mystery-crackers"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":11886,"url":"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2018\/10\/04\/tattooed-music-the-mystery-crackers-book-2-by-jinal-shailesh-doshi-book-review\/","url_meta":{"origin":11790,"position":0},"title":"Tattooed Music (The Mystery Crackers: Book 2) by Jinal Shailesh Doshi  (Book Review)","date":"October 4, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Add the book on Goodreads Buy on Amazon Genre:\u00a0Children's MysteryPublisher:\u00a0JINN\u2019S KREATIV TUTORIASource: Review CopyFormat:\u00a0KindlePages:\u00a047Publication Date: 12 June 2018My Rating:\u00a04\u00a0stars Goodreads Blurb An innocent look at the dazzling replica of Daulihaam (A Blue Diamond Gold Choker) and a precious bloodstained pure silk handkerchief lure fraternal twins \u2013 Prash and Nish in\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Book Reviews&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/travellingthroughwords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/screenshot_20180728-161237-e1537801411649.png?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":11873,"url":"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2018\/09\/25\/tattooed-music-the-mystery-crackers-book-2-book-spotlight\/","url_meta":{"origin":11790,"position":1},"title":"Tattooed Music (The Mystery Crackers Book 2) &#8211; Book Spotlight","date":"September 25, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Tattooed Music (The Mystery Crackers Book 2) Genre- Children's books Format- Kindle Edition Pages- 47 Publication Date- June 12th 2018 Publisher- Jinn's Kreativ Tutoria About The Book An innocent look at the dazzling replica of\u00a0Daulihaam\u00a0(A Blue Diamond Gold Choker) and a precious bloodstained pure silk handkerchief lure fraternal twins \u2013\u00a0Prash\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Miscellaneous&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"screenshot_20180728-161237.png","src":"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.files.wordpress.com\/2018\/09\/screenshot_20180728-161237-e1537801411649.png?w=350&h=200&crop=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":11888,"url":"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2018\/10\/16\/interview-with-jinal-shailesh-doshi-author-of-the-mystery-crackers\/","url_meta":{"origin":11790,"position":2},"title":"Interview with Jinal Shailesh Doshi, author of The Mystery Crackers","date":"October 16, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Hi everyone!
