Death at a Drop-In by Elizabeth Spann Craig

An octogenarian sleuth discovers a body during a party.

Death at a drop-in

Cosette Whitlow is a society matron…if tiny Bradley, North Carolina, has one. She kindly volunteers for all the town’s charities, but isn’t nearly as kind to her own family, neighbors, and friends. In fact, Cosette is emphatically disliked by much of the town—including octogenarian Myrtle Clover. And Myrtle knows that dislike in Bradley can quickly turn deadly.

No one seems surprised when Cosette’s body is discovered during a party she’s hosting—she was struck on the head with a croquet mallet. Wanting to restore order to the small town, Myrtle resolves to track down the killer—before the killer strikes again.

Sample text:

“Miles?” asked Myrtle, peering closely at her friend. “Are you asking me on a date?”

“Certainly not!” said Miles, flustered. He pushed his rimless glasses higher on his nose.

“Then why are you asking me to go to a drop-in with you, if I’m not your date?” Myrtle was vastly relieved that Miles wasn’t asking her out. She was in her eighties, widowed about forty years. She was pretty sure that she wouldn’t be current on dating protocol.
