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 … 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.

This is book three of my new favorite series, A-Bought The Farm Mystery! Ivy and Jilly are now welcoming the towns Bridge Club for a weekend stay. They’ll play their tournament at the inn to avoid drama. Her neighbor, Edna, is the organizer. She decides not to stay the first night of the weekend. The next morning, when Ivy goes to pick her up, she’s found dead. Can Ivy, Keats and Jilly solve Edna’s murder? Wonderful story! Ellen Riggs is such an unpredictable author! Would 100% recommend to anyone!
A fantastic book!
This is a wonderfully entertaining mystery set in a small town with big secrets. A very imaginative story that is well-written and is hard to put down once you read the first page. Ellen Riggs is a gifted storyteller. I am anxiously awaiting the release of book 4!
I loved this new book in the “Runaway Farm” series. Ivy and Keats have to solve the murder of someone most people didn’t like. There were surprising twists and I did not figure out who the murderer was until the end. I was so happy to see the Rescue Mafia show up and I hope they continue to do so in future books.
I received an ARC from the author. This is my honest review.
The books in this series gets better and better. I think it’s because we are getting to know Ivy, Keats and Jilly much better. I am hoping Ivy and the farm gets a streak of good cluck, especially after everything that she went through with Edna. I will be patiently, or is that impatiently , waiting for the next book in this series.
I volunteered an honest review in exchange for an ARC copy of this book.
I love this series! In A Streak of Bad Cluck, Ivy and Jilly prepare to host a bridge group, Edna has taken to visiting Ivy’s hen house. One of the guests disappears and of course Ivy and Keats have to investigate. Ivy’s inn and farm do not need more bad publicity. Very little is as it appears in this fast paced, well written mystery with several plot twists.
Absolutely love this series. More of the zaniness that just makes this a fun read. Besides lovable Keats, we now have cats. Fun, laugh out loud quick read. I was given an ARC by the author. My review is freely and honestly given
Ellen Riggs sure can write an engaging must-read mystery. I love this series and look forward to reading each and every one. Without revealing who was murdered, I have to admit, I was a little sad. I also love it when I don’t figure out who was the murderer. I highly recommend this whole series and I bet you’ll want to visit Clover Grove, when you finish reading. This series has such wonderful characters, both two-legged and four-legged. Grab your copy and get ready for another adventure with Ivy, Jilly, and Keats.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book and this is my voluntary and honest review.
