2 Series

Margaret Mayhew is an English author known for her mystery and historical romance novels, including the Village Mysteries series. Born in London, her earliest memories include the London Blitz. She began her writing career in her thirties and is married to fellow author Philip Kaplan. They reside in Gloucestershire, England.

In Margaret Mayhew's standalone novel, "The Other Side of Paradise," wartime Britain contrasts with the seemingly secure and festive atmosphere of Singapore under British rule. Susan Roper, a central character, encounters an Australian doctor who warns of impending danger. Dismissing him as an ignorant colonial, Susan remains unaware of the true peril they face. The novel explores themes of complacency and the harsh realities of war, set against the backdrop of a crumbling empire.
