Synopsis
BOOK 4: THE SEVENTH LINK
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 . . .
My Take
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.
My rating: 4.3
