Village Mysteries: Books 1-6
(2025)(A book in the Village Mysteries series)
An omnibus of novels by Margaret Mayhew
Get six beautifully-written, witty and highly entertaining English cozy mysteries in one great-value box set!
Perfect for fans of Miss Marple, Faith Martin, the Rev Richard Coles, Katie Gayle, Liz Fielding, Alice Castle, and Agatha Frost.
The Colonel might be retired — but when murder strikes in the village he always rises to the challenge.
MEET YOUR NEW FAVOURITE SLEUTH — At the grand old age of 55, the Colonel is a retired army officer and expert at finding trouble in the most peaceful of places. He may have hung up his uniform, but his sharp mind and even sharper instincts are still on top form. Living in the picturesque Dorset village of Frog End, he’s traded battlefields for bowls on the village green, but when a murder happens, he’s on the case faster than a military salute.
Still grieving the loss of his wife Laura, and missing his grown-up children, the Colonel shares his pretty thatched cottage with his loyal companion, scrappy tomcat Thursday (who’s definitely the real boss). Together, they’re the village's unlikely detective duo, solving mysteries with military precision and a touch of dry wit.
THE SETTING
Welcome to Frog End — with its beautiful village green, imposing Norman church, and lively old pub. A charming slice of the English countryside, complete with thatched cottages, village fetes and more twists than a country lane. In a place where everyone knows your name — and your business — life is anything but dull. Whether it’s a murder mystery or a missing pie, don’t worry — the locals will figure it out before the kettle boils. Especially when the Colonel is on the case!
