This is the fourth book in the Village Mysteries series.
When the Colonel retired to Frogs End, restored his cottage and acquired a cat called Thursday he expected to settle into some peace and quiet. This is apparently not to be. In this book he accepts an invitation to visit old friends at the same time as there is an RAF reunion in the area. The other visitors are not all as reunited as they should be and soon a body is found in the lake. The Colonel finds himself investigating again.
There was a lot of interesting information about Bomber Command and the part that the air crews played during the war. I enjoyed the mystery and the way the Colonel managed everything. There was a bit of tension about Thursday which made me nervous, but the author did not make us wait until the next book to find out what was happening. Apart from that this was a relaxing, engaging and enjoyable story.

The mystery was slow in developing and the death/murder almost periphery to the story. The dead man didn't even appear until half-way through he book. I try not to be too judgmental since I am not a fan of cozy mysteries and I had already read one book in this series this month because they...what else?...fit a challenge task. On the plus side, the Colonel is an interesting character but he spends why too much time repeating what he already knows about a case. The same thing happened in the first book. One thing that I found disturbing and tarnished the story for me, was the slight made on Britian's brave bomber pilots. I am an American and I would have certainly been offended if it had been on ours and these men were our allies. I found it distasteful and quite unnecessary. Don't think I'll be visiting this village again even for a challenge.

These cozy village stories seem to get better, as this one has a very nice tribute to RAF, WWII pilots and crew. The Colonel is invited to visit an old friend now running a B & B, and this visit coincides with a tribute organized to honor those who served in WWII. The squadron members staying at the B & B are friendly enough and share memories with the Colonel. Of course there will be a suspicious death and of course the Colonel is the one to discover the body.
The Colonel has to leave his cat in a cattery; once back home he is working in the shed when Naomi, the next door gardening neighbor finally manages to barge in to see what he gets up to in the shed.
As always there are interesting gardening tips, but I awarded four stars this time due to the recognition given to the brave soldiers. This would be a fitting book to read over Veterans Day.

“Strike hard, strike sure”
Retired Colonel Hugh (second name annoyingly never given) lives in a cottage in the English village of Frog End. A widower, he lives alone except for Thursday, a cat which has adopted him, but he's on friendly terms with his neighbours, especially Naomi from next door, who pops round most evenings for a drink. Apparently this book is part of a series about Hugh and I get the impression his village and neighbours feature more prominently in the earlier books. In this one, however, Hugh has been invited to stay with old friends who now run a Bed and Breakfast in Buckby, near an old RAF Bomber Command station. While he is there, there is to be a reunion of members of the Bomber crews, some of whom will also be staying at the B&B. At first everything goes well, but when a tragic death occurs, Hugh can't help wondering if it wasn't as accidental as the police seem to think...
This falls firmly into the category of 'cosy', situated in the type of English village that really only exists in the pages of Agatha Christie or in episodes of Midsomer Murders. It's well written and the character of Hugh is rounded and sympathetic, and his conversations with his inquisitive but helpful neighbour Naomi give us the opportunity to get to know more about him and about life in the village.
In a note at the beginning, the author reminds readers that the crews of Bomber Command were somewhat forgotten after the war, and it's only recently that a memorial has been erected to them. A good deal of this book is given over to filling in some of the history of this part of the war effort, told mainly through the reminiscences of the crew members. In fact, that aspect really crowds out the mystery element to a large degree – it felt that Mayhew's real intent was to pay tribute to the bombers.
While I enjoyed the book overall, I had a feeling of time displacement all the way through. If the action is taking place in the near-present, which it seems to be from some of the references, that would mean that the youngest of these veterans would have to be in his mid-eighties, and they seemed an exceptionally sprightly bunch of octogenarians to me. The Colonel himself is described as having served in 'post-war Colonial Singapore' and yet he doesn't come over as old enough for that either. I felt the book would have worked better if it had been clearly set in the 1990s. However, that aside, the war element of the book felt well-researched and as if it gave an accurate picture of what life may have been like for the Bomber crews. For my taste, the book was too heavily weighted towards the historical aspect at the expense of creating a good mystery plot, but overall I found it an entertaining read nonetheless.

I was enjoying this very English cozy mystery, just the kind of easy, familiar read I feel like right now, until it abruptly ended in a way that to me is unforgivable in this genre. To be blunt, the mystery is not solved, not for certain. And the amateur sleuth just kind of shrugs and doesn't really care. No. Just no.

Disappointed
I loved this book in the beginning but the ending let me down with a thud. The writing is excellent, the protagonist sympathetic but the plot lacks a great deal. Felt like half a book. No resolution, just a cosmic shrug.

I love a gentle, English village traditional mystery and The Seventh Link satisfies my yearning quite nicely with some reservations. Yes, there's murder and other mayhem afoot but it's all so genteel, so very British, and there's no silliness as we so often see in American cozies. I do appreciate those cozies but my enjoyment of the British traditionals is just a smidgen more intense.
The pacing is very slow in this book mainly because of a great deal of narrative and description having to do with the lot of bomber crews in World War II and their treatment by their country during and after the war. I appreciate learning more about these crews and, although I was already aware of the tremendous dangers, I am glad to have a clearer understanding of who these men were (and, in rapidly decreasing numbers, still are). An especially appealing passage is an exchange between the Colonel and a "sprightly" older woman who had flown war planes, including the heavy Lancaster bombers, around the country but I did feel there was a bit too much re-telling of history overall. This is a mystery and it was pretty obvious who was going to be killed but the dead body doesn't show up until well past the halfway point of the book, rather late in the day for most mystery readers.
After that, the sleuthing is all very cerebral, much as you would find in a Poirot mystery, and there's no real finding of evidence and that sort of thing. I had it pretty much figured out early on but was completely surprised by the last few pages. So, did I love this book? Decidedly no. Will I read another in the series? Confoundedly yes and I can't really tell you why other than I like the central characters and I want to know if the surprise at the end of this one happens in the other books. Oh, and I really enjoyed the relationship between the Colonel and a cat named Thursday ;-)
Online information about Ms. Mayhew is limited and I can't be sure I'm right about this but I believe these are the books in the series in order of publication---
Old Soldiers Never Die
Three Silent Things
Dry Bones
The Seventh Link
I did not feel at a disadvantage reading this fourth book first but I'm eager to go back and start at the beginning (if I can find the first one) to get more of the Colonel's backstory and learn more about his home, the village of Frog's End. In the meantime, I'm in the mood to go watch a good World War II movie ;-)

Enjoyed the first four books, but this one seemed to be missing half of the book. A waste of time except for the history of the pilots of WW II.

After a challenging read, its nice to get back to an 'armchair and slippers' kind of a series you know. A Cozy visit to Frogs End.
Once again the Colonel is off visiting old friends and this time gets involved in a reunion of a Second World War Bomber Crew. As his friend Naomi perceptibly guesses 'and was there a body?'
I didn't enjoy this as much as the others (although my wife says that she thought it was better !).
The author , perhaps understandably, believes that the crews of the Lancaster Bombers in the last war were its unsung heroes but it seemed to me that he overlaboured the point. This and the loss of the village badinage rather detracted from the usual series flavour.
No matter the Colonel is back again in his cottage and may be Thursday will pretend he didnt enjoy his break at the Cattery, as much as he did, and forgive the Colonel for leaving him again, eventually.
Still an enjoyable read but just not as much as usual.
On to the next.

What could be better for a long winter's night than an English cosy mystery featuring a rustic cottage and an absurd yet adorable cat? Nothing. That's what.
This book was not a tough and gritty mystery, but rather a gentle and curious one that I quite enjoyed. I like characters with memorable personality traits and the Colonel is definitely one of those characters. This book is smart and fun with good humour and isn't very long so it is perfect for an afternoon of reading or bedtime reading during these early nights of winter.
The fact that the main character professes himself as a non-believer and then gets roped into the church anyway made m smile.
Recommended to those who enjoy a good mystery and a good laugh.

Another interesting story featuring the Colonel. I enjoyed reading this book because he had gone to visit friends, in another village. I liked the location and how evocative the special event was for his generation. The characters were again well rounded and believable.

This was a wonderful cosy mystery set in a village called Frog End and at a Bomber command reunion meeting.
I loved the description of Village life. The colonel has resorted to building himself a 'man shed' to escape being roped into eveb more village activities. But he enjoys an evening drink with his neighbour. The characters were really interesting and well rounded.
He's invited to his friends B&B where there is a Bomber Command reunion planned which interests him due to his own time in the army. It was interesting to read about the work of these teams and to realise just how harrowing each trip would have been.
After a shocking discovery, the Colonel is left unsure that the incident was purely accidental. His neighbour uses an Agatha Christie plot to tell him who was guilty and he continues to wonder.
I just loved every page of this book- it was such a nice, easy read. Perfect for those cosy evenings when you want to be entertained by such a charming book.
With many thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for a copy to review.

Disappointing mystery
Mayhew's English village cozy mystery with the Colonel snooping into dead bodies is normally a good series. The 7th Link ended disappointingly with the Colonel not really solving the death of an aged airman. I thought the story ended too soon.

I was torn between three stars or four on this one. It is largely left unresolved and while that is probably much closer to the way things are in real life, it feels unfinished. I'm left pondering about how often people do get away with murder.

The colonel is invited to visit some old friends in Lincolnshire, where they run a B&B next door to a WWII air force field. While much of the air force buildings had been taken down to grow corn, parts of the runway are still in place, as is the tower. A reunion of fliers is taking place at the airfield, and a group of seven is staying at the B&B. One of them was an unexpected late show, a man from Australia who had a large win on a horse and made the trip at the last minute. His stories about the times in the war were bleak and unhappy. When he turned up dead in the pond at the B&B, nobody was really too sad.
The colonel has begun to use his shed and is trying to keep it secret from Naomi, and she is also trying to see what's inside. They are an amusing pair. Thursday is put into a cat boarding kennel while the colonel's away and seems to enjoy it very much, to the colonel's amazement. Another fun read.

As I said in my previous review, as the reader you begin to wonder where the body is going to come from in this book. Well, I had the body picked out well into the book, but not the method or the motive.
The book is really a novella rather than a full length novel.
One of the themes of this book appears to be how the airmen in Bomber Command were treated by the government after the War, no medals, and not really given credit for saving Britain. The people of the village of Buckby want to remedy that in some way, but at least one of a Lancaster Bomber Crew that survived 30 operations feel that their praise is undeserved.
Again this is a murder mystery where the resolution is unexpected.

This is the fourth in the series about the Colonel who has retired to Frog End village and solves murders.
This time he is visiting an old friend in Lincolnshire and gets involved in a Bomber Command reunion. There is a lot of background on the history of Bomber Command and how they have been overlooked in terms of medals and kudos. However, I worked it all out very quickly, it was really quite obvious and the ending was perhaps disappointing. Back in the late 60s I worked with a lovely man (0ld enough to be my grandfather) who had been a rear gunner and whose crew were among the few who had completed all their tours of duty so I felt this story rather tarnished their heroism.

I do like a bit of uncertainty
I hate novels that rush around tidying everything neatly away in the last two chapters. It always feels unfinished, somehow as though the story hadn't been properly thought out.
But Mayhew never does that. And this time she excelled herself with a steady, well paced, Ravel's Bolero of a story. It builds slowly, mounting, holding your interest ...... then rewards you with a jarring, crashing, crescendo. Then, just when you thought it was all over ......

After reading Books 1,2,3 ,& 4 then I skipped over to another writer and now am back with Book 5; it's like coming home again. Remembering all the characters and how they interact. This story line is very comfortable and exciting at times.
I will complete the series and most likely miss the characters. However, I am sure Ms. Mayhew has more for to keep me entertained.
I highly recommend this series.

I love these Village Mysteries….They include many gardening hints, lots of historical tidbits, mysteries to solve, charming characters, evil doers doing evil deeds, a disreputable old cat, and no cliffhanger endings. This one seemed to end rather abruptly….very unusual. But, a lovely series to curl up and read in a comfy chair with a cup of tea on a cold rainy day, nevertheless. I am looking forward to the next book.

That was unusual.
I've really enjoyed all the books in this series so far. The characters are great. They are described as good decent people and most have a nice sense of humor. The stories are all very interesting and different. Not the same old mysteries. Once I start one it's hard to put doen.

An enjoyable read.
The colonel is settling into village life and his garden is coming along nicely thanks to his neighbour.
An old friend invites him to an RAF reunion in Lincolnshire, and once again the colonel finds himself playing sleuth when disaster befalls one of the crew.

I read this as part of a 1-4 Box Set.
This is written like an old style detective novel, lots of inner dialogue, not much action. Despite that (or maybe because of it) these were thoroughly entertaining stories. I love the MC; the colonel is very likeable, modest, and a great neighbor. The other people in the story are well done and all add well to their part.
