"With the magic of friendship, anything is possible..."--Cover.

"Initially an ordinary study group meeting at the local branch library, this group of women quickly evolves into a full-blown coven. The narrator, Cassandra, owner of Earthlore Herbal Preparations and Cruelty-Free Cosmetics, has visions, the most disturbing of which takes place in a grocery story when she "sees" a fellow shopper as a serial killer of young boys. Knowing that the police put little stock in psychic phenomena, the circle decides to take matters into their own hands. They can't use black magic on the murderer, because such spells come back to those who cast them. So they decide to become amateur detectives. However, this cookbook author, vitamin franchise manager, owner of a natural cosmetics store, volunteer at an animal shelter, and branch librarian botch every attempt at sleuthing, and soon the killer is on to them. Despite their protection spells and help from Cassandra's telepathic dog and her new love, Greenpeace worker Joe Ulysses, they remain in grave danger. Humorous moments are deftly intertwined with truly creepy ones as Riccio's intrepid Wiccan crime fighters struggle to solve their first case, hopefully the first of many."--Booklist/A.L.A.
