A BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN COZY VILLAGE MYSTERY FROM A BESTSELLING AUTHOR

A WEEKEND AWAY IN LINCOLNSHIRE WITH A SHOCK

The Colonel’s old friend Geoffrey Cheetham invites him to the village of Buckby for the weekend, to coincide with an RAF reunion event.

After depositing an outraged Thursday at the Cat Heaven cattery, the Colonel drives up to stay at the Cheethams’ rambling B&B.

The guests include a Lancaster bomber crew, reunited for the first time. But everything is not as harmonious as it seems.

Then someone is found drowned in the lake . . .

DISCOVER A BEAUTIFULLY DRAWN PICTURE OF ENGLAND WITH AN INTRIGUING MYSTERY FOR THE COLONEL TO SOLVE

Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Agatha Christie and Stella Cameron.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE VILLAGE MYSTERIES

“A thoroughly enjoyable British village cozy mystery that is the first in a series. I'm looking forward to reading the rest.” Sherri

“I was enthralled from the first to the last page.” Lizzie

“I enjoyed this, and look forward to visiting Frog End again.” Laura

“There is nothing like a light British village mystery for when you are under the weather.” Amy

“If you enjoy Miss Marple or the Midsomer Murders type of story then you'll like this.” Carole

THE DETECTIVE
At the grand old age of 55, the Colonel had been put out to grass by the British Army. In the same year, his beloved wife, Laura, died after a long illness. He found himself facing a bleak and lonely future. There were the children, of course, but they were grown up and had busy lives of their own.

One summer, years before, he and Laura spent their leave in England, touring the West Country. They stopped at a village in Dorset called Frog End which had a spit-and-sawdust pub called the Dog and Duck. Laura had fallen in love with a stone cottage seen across the village green. She had admired the thatched roof and the pink roses round the door. Years later, after her death, the Colonel had revisited the same village alone and seen Laura’s dream cottage had aged badly and that it was up for sale. Against his better judgement, he bought it.

THE SETTING
The cottage was called Pond Cottage and the Colonel soon discovered that he had made a big mistake. The two-hundred-year-old building had deathwatch beetle, rising damp, a falling roof, rot and decay throughout. There was no heating and the wiring was a dangerous disgrace. Logs for an open fire were kept in a tin bath in the scullery and the nettle-infested lavatory was housed outside in a jungle. There was no sign of any pond.
But there were compensations: a view over the beautiful village green, clusters of other stone cottages, a Norman church built on Saxon foundations, a graveyard of ancient tombs leaning at perilous angles. And, of course, the Dog and Duck.

Short and mostly composed of filler about WW2 RAF bomber crews

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 21 januari 2021

Geverifieerde aankoop

I read the three earlier books in this series. The first was entertaining and promising. It had a pleasant setting and established a few likeable characters. The second not too bad. Downhill since then. This book has very little plot. It feels as though the author knew she didn't have a story so she filled the book with stuff about RAF bomber crews. The novel is very short and ends without reaching any real conclusion. These later books feel as if the author has exhausted her imagination but doesn't want to stop writing. The portions of the last couple of stories that are in the original village setting are very repetitive. She keeps wheeling out the same few traits to describe the secondary characters (including the cat), in a way that just seems lazy. It means that if you have read the earlier ones you find yourself hearing the same things all over again.

An intriguing mystery that may or may not be a murder.

The Seventh Link. A Cosy Murder Mystery (Village Mysteries Book 4) by Margaret Mathew.
An intriguing mystery that may or may not be a murder? The Colonel, on an extended visit to a friend, discovers a body floating in a pond. 'Did he fall or was he pushed', that is the question? The story has a rather long introduction - five chapters! My favourite character is the lady at the Tudor re-enactment gathering. A good chuckle. Persevere, it is worth it. More questions than answers!

reader of good books

didnt like it

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 15 november 2020

Geverifieerde aankoop

Quite disturbing. Unnecessary slight on our very brave bomber pilots. I don't think young adults of today could do what they did. I have the feeling that our lost young men would be asking themselves if it was worth their sacrifice. Sorry, I don't want to offend anyone but I found it most distasteful and quite unnecessary.

Disappointing

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 23 februari 2021

Geverifieerde aankoop

I had largely enjoyed the preceding stories about the Colonel. This one was a disappointment. It was more like a Mrs Dale's Diary recounting of her daily trivia combined with a failed fundraising leaflet for the Bomber Command memorial. There was no satisfactory conclusion; the reader is genuinely left to decide for themselves! It was almost as though the author had run in to a wall.
The final irritation was to reach 89% read (according to the Kindle count) and find the book finished! The reamaining 11% is taken up with blurb and puffs for other books.

Read much better

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 20 november 2020

Geverifieerde aankoop

I have now read books 1,2,3,4, have purchased no5. Thought books 1 and 2 were very good 5 star reading, book 3 only 3 stars , felt it ended to quickly and felt the author was tiring. Book 4 only 2 stars again ending to quickly more like a novelette, kept repeating the same
story about the airmen over and over felt that it was just to fill space, I have no doubt about the Bravery of the Bomber Crews whatsoever
but felt this was a story that did nothing for those crews, or indeed anything else. I hope book 5 is an improvement and not worse.
