It amazes me not just how entertaining these short spy novels are but also how well written they are. The author has a skill for writing characters and plots that are dynamic and intriguing. There have been several popular novels written recently with the old-person spy/detective theme—good ones, too—but the Mrs. Pollifax series takes the cake and paved the way for those novels to even exist.
