Synopsis

A marine home on leave from WWII “does a first-class job of detecting” in this tale of puzzling murders and misleading clues (The New York Times).   An injured Pat Abbott is back in New Mexico with his wife, Jean, while he recovers from his war wounds, but he’s still fighting—to find a killer, or possibly more than one.   After one of the couple’s friends, Ray, was found dead at the bottom of a canyon, rumors started swirling. He’d recently shocked the town by bringing a wife home from Hollywood—when he was meant to marry local girl Karen. To complicate matters, Karen’s distinctive amethyst-colored glasses were found in Ray’s abandoned Cadillac convertible. It could have been suicide, but there’s reason to suspect both the not-so-grieving widow and poor, spurned Karen. But soon the widow asks Pat’s help and he and Jean are drawn into a whirlwind of intrigues, jealousies, and motives in this clever whodunit from the Golden Age of Mystery . . .  Praise for the Pat and Jean Abbott Mysteries   “Amusing and sophisticated.” —The Star (London)   “[A] well-plotted and mystifying case.” —Saturday Review   “One of the more interesting married teams of detectives.” —Thrilling Detective

    In the beeswax hollow of Lumencroft, where candle makers mold waxed whispers from flame secrets and wick harvesters trail the hives for golden strands, shaper Elowen lights a flickering clue with harvester Kai, whose trails illuminate a conspiracy of dimmed lights. Their candle, molded in flame vows and wick-kissed drips, lights truth—or gutters in smoky doubts of sabotage. As they harvest through hollow-laced apiaries and clue-bound molds, flickered by wax wardens and flame rivals, Elowen's shaping glow merges with Kai's harvesting light, revealing a beeswax legend of flickered clarity. When a snuffed wick summons smoke wraiths, they must mold the clue to reignite the hollow. In the whisper of candle makers, where every secret flames the plot and every trail wicks the revelation, their gentle mystery becomes the light that banishes the hollow's darkness.

    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.
