"Deadly Drive-In" (Book 8 in the Sweet Southern Sleuths Short Stories)

------------------------------------------------------

Spring is in the air and Loretta Sweet is looking forward to a fun-filled Sunday, participating in Misery’s annual Spring Splash events. She's especially excited because Pastor Alex Jessup has asked her to be his date for the evening's Spring Serenade dance.

Loretta's twin sister, Lacy, who is desperate to win the mystery scavenger hunt's grand prize, a shopping spree, talks her sister into joining the hunt.

The Sweet sisters, along with Uncle Ichabod and their friend and neighbor, Savannah, find much more than the items listed on the scavenger hunt when the clues lead them to the town’s abandoned drive-in movie theater.

Will they survive the hunt or will they become the next mystery in Misery?

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A SHORT STORY (APPROX. 30 MINUTES) (If you prefer longer cozy mysteries, be sure to check out Hope Callaghan's Garden Girls Cozy Mysteries Series and Cruise Ship Cozy Mystery Series.)
