  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.

  Altar of Ashes, a debut novel by a respected author of non-fiction, opens with two hunters witnessing a horror in the backwoods of Indiana: the rite of sati, with the bride on the funeral pyre a 10-year-old girl. The book, which pokes a multicultural hornet’s nest, was launched at the 2023 Frankfurt Book Fair. The inciting incident draws the local prosecutor into a spectacular case revolving around religious toleration and cultural bigotry, which sweeps the town into a vortex of national publicity. His opponent in the courtroom an African-American giant of legal repute. The case is subsumed in the larger zeitgeist of American cultural confrontation, impelled toward its surprising resolution. It’s been described by critics such Lily Andrews of Reader Views as, “A thriller that will unsettle your expectations at every turn. Westrate has a deep understanding of oppressive cultural practices and deals with them excellently here. With immaculate prose and an almost undemanding commitment to unadorned lucidity, he manages to steal your breath and capture your heart. The book leaves you empowered and enlightened as it incessantly punctures a foreign custom that is illegal in the United States. Brilliant with detail and palpitating with suspense, Altar of Ashes delivers a knuckle-hard plotline with an unforgettable set of characters.” Diane Donovan, senior reviewer for Midwest Book Review, said “Bruce Westrate moves his story from a murder mystery to a legal encounter that embraces some of the undercurrents of adversity and prejudice in America today . . . he shatters emotions and preconceptions of what makes for good and bad legal precedents and how the past reaches out to influence present-day decisions. [Readers] will relish the questions and conundrums in Altar of Ashes, which ignites a sense of shame and revelation in the protagonist after the outcome is revealed.”
