Margaret Mayhew is a British author who has been writing since the mid-1970s. Her early novels were historical romances and adventure stories, but she later found her audience with two types of fiction: wartime historical novels and cozy village mysteries. Her World War II books, including Bluebirds, The Crew, The Little Ship, and Our Yanks, follow women in wartime Britain and have earned a loyal readership.
Her Village Mysteries series, which began with Old Soldiers Never Die in 1999, is set in the fictional English village of Frog End. The books feature a retired RAF officer who keeps getting drawn into local murder investigations. Mayhew has published 27 books in total across her career, with her work ranging from Regency-era fiction to modern-day mysteries, though the Village Mysteries and her wartime novels remain her most popular.
