Inspired by the classic whodunits of Agatha Christie and Margaret Millar, but set in the best decade ever (the '90s, that is), this brain-teaser of a mystery sees two amateur sleuths race to solve a young woman's murder over the course of one clue-filled night. (Rated "PG," no graphic violence or profanity.)
A twig snaps in the woods, and minutes later twenty-two-year-old Gail Raish lies stabbed to death in the parking lot of the isolated drive-thru where she had just worked a late shift, alone.
