Summary

The international bestselling author “again demonstrates her skill and with incomparable whimsy makes her bucolic puzzles great fun” (Publishers Weekly).  Although he towers over his neighbors, Jim Feldster is otherwise unremarkable, except for his mastery of cow milking and his membership in every lodge, rotary club, and brotherhood that Balaclava County has to offer. And anyone who’s met his wife, Mirelle, a vicious gossip with a hysterical streak, can understand why he never misses a meeting. But one night their neighbors, the sleuthing academics Peter and Helen Shandy, wake at 2:47 a.m. to the sound of Mirelle screaming. Jim hasn’t come home, and she will lose her mind if he isn’t found quickly. None of Jim’s lodge brothers know where to find him, and Peter’s investigation turns up few clues. But when a mystery author comes to town and Mirelle is found murdered, Peter begins to wonder if the master milker is less wholesome than he appears.

    A guest at the farm takes her final flight and ruffles more feathers for Ivy and her crime-solving dog. 
After a rocky start, Ivy is finally settling into life at Runaway Farm and Inn. She’s even managed to smooth the feathers of a formerly feisty neighbor. Or has she? Nothing is ever quite as simple as it seems in charming Clover Grove. 
When the local bridge club arrives for a high stakes visit, Ivy turns up the hospitality to revive the inn’s reputation after two recent murders. What could possibly go wrong with a group of card-playing octogenarians known as pillars of the community? 
A fox in the henhouse disrupts the plan. Someone is creeping around the farm again, and the Bridge Buddies have barely settled in before one of them gains her heavenly wings. 
Luckily, Ivy is never alone in a crisis. Keats, the border collie, is eager to apply his sharp brain to this case of murder most fowl, and best friend Jilly always has her back. Even Kellan (AKA Chief Hottie) is softening a little. His change of heart couldn’t be better timed because the evidence could leave Ivy without an egg to stand on. 
If you like twisty, fast-paced mysteries and heartwarming animal stories, then you’ll love A Streak of Bad Cluck.
