Becky Wooley's debut crime novel is called NON PROPHET MURDERS: A Grit and Grace Mystery. Filled with Southern humor, it's both a mystery and a wry look at small-town churches and charismatic preachers.

Wooley is a minister's wife. In that role, she's encountered many situations worthy of being part of a satirical tale, but always kept quiet... until now.

From the publisher's Web site:

Four ministers ignore the prophecy, REPENT OR DIE. Three of them die:

-Pastor Newell Post Lawson, militaristic founder of Holy City Pre-millennial Church, suffers an on-air heart attack.

-Politically ambitious Reverend Bishop, The Reverend Bishop of Greater Bennettville First Baptist/Methodist/Episcopal/Holiness Alpha and Omega International Tabernacle, succumbs to food poisoning.

-Brother Thomas Alexander Willis dies dramatically in the baptistery of Bennettville One True Church after preaching against drama in worship.

One survives:

-Twenty-three-year-old Grit Griffin is injured in an explosion at an unconventional Christian fellowship named Deep Water.

Now Grit and Thomas Willis' daughter, Grace, must stop a serial killer.
