Murder at the Altar

In the second book of the Mystic Triplets Mysteries ,
brother Noel is accused of poisoning a fellow Beluga
trainer at the Aquarium. When Holly Corey starts
investigating she visits her Old Craft mentors, Sarah
and Abby Hoyt. Unfortunately against their advice,
Holly accepts two new long term guests at the
Corey Bed and Breakfast: Lilith (once a member of
her father's coven ); and Lilith's younger warlock
architect ( sometimes lover ) Gregory St . Clair.
Lilith is pressing to buy the Old Mill that the triplets'
mother ritually suicided in, while Gregory is trying
to seduce Holly up on to the high altar at Grace
La Fleur's Church of Nature's Bounty. Afraid of the
Wiccan ritual, but needing to know more, Holly
drags Sgt. Paul Travinsky up to the beginnings of the
naked Yule celebrations that winds up being raided
by his fellow cops. While the Sergeant is being told
to stay away from Ms. Corey or give up his job,
Holly finds herself in danger of losing her life--or her
soul--to the combined efforts of the Rasputin like
Gregory, and the powerful, mind controlling Lilith.
