Once again the irrepressible Mrs. Pollifax, that very special agent with her own very special brand of logic, is off on an incredible escapade of international intrigue . . . from the exotic towns and countryside of Turkey to a mysterious rendezvous with a gypsy caravan. “You are in effect replacing a dead man, Mrs. Pollifax. . . .” When Emily Pollifax answered the phone that Sunday morning she quickly forgot about her Garden Club tea in the afternoon. The last time she had heard the voice on the other end of the line it had sent of her off on a journey that plunged her into a wild tangle of secret agents and high adventure. Now the man from the CIA was asking if she could leave immediately on a mission that would take her halfway across the world. What could Mrs. Pollifax say but yes? Praise for The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax “Mrs. Pollifax is an enchantress.”—The New York Times “One of the most suspense-creating and unorthodox heroines of our time is Mrs. Pollifax . . . . A charmer!”—Shrevport Times
Reviews with the most likes.
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.
