Search - The Elusive Mrs. Pollifax (Mrs Pollifax, Bk 3)

This series is excellent and surprising. An unusual book because it is about a CIA operative who is well past the age you would normally expect to find. This is because Mrs. Pollifax didn't start until after her kids were raised with kids of their own and she was a widow finding life dull and boring. Her life is anything but now as she circles the globe finding adventure and risk wherever she goes. This is the third book in the series.

My 3rd Mrs. Pollifax book and a delight. I like her because she is spunky and my age (near it anyway). She is brave and compassionate and likes to break the rules.

If you like Agatha Christie and miss Marple, you'll love Mrs. Pollifax!

A fellow member recommended Dorothy Gilman's books to me and I have not been disappointed with any of her books. In this book, The Elusive Mrs. Pollifax she is sent to Bulgaria on a daring mission filled with adventure, danger, and to her excitement. This is probably one of her most action filled books that will make a great read for anyone. I highly recommend.

She could fool some of the best spies.

At the very hour this message was en route to the CIA, Mrs. Pollifax was waiting for her night-blooming cereus to do its thing. She hardly got to see it, however, because Mr. Carstairs was already on his way to recruit that gallant lady for another daring mission. Soon the most unlikely of all international spies was sporting a beautiful new hat--perfect for hiding eight forged passports . . .
