Prophet Motive: A Cozy Witch Mystery - Christine Pope

The perfect Thanksgiving recipe for disaster — means, motive...and opportunity.

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, Selena finds herself soothing the nerves of her friend Josie, who's now Globe's newly minted mayor. Popular television preacher Aaron Galloway is bringing his traveling prayer gathering to town, and Josie is worried Selena's New Age shop will attract negative attention.

Josie's concern is touching, but Selena can't imagine her humble little shop being any more than a blip on the faithful's radar. Still, she does a quick Tarot reading, just to be sure. To her dismay, the cards warn there's trouble brewing. What kind and how deep it goes is anyone's guess. Until Galloway falls over dead of arsenic poisoning — and Josie is accused of murder.

Holiday plans are put on hold as Selena races to prove Josie's innocence. And as she begins unearthing something rotten under the megachurch's squeaky-clean veneer, the real killer is getting nervous...and determined to mow down anyone who gets too close to the truth.
