Search - A Palm for Mrs. Pollifax (Mrs Pollifax, Bk 4)

The author has a great ability to create adventure from the simplist subjects. The adventures are well suited to an elderly woman spy. She also keeps to the plot.

A fun read. Not the tip-top of the Pollifax series, but time with Mrs. P. is time spent in enjoyment. (The best, of course, are The Unexpected Mrs. P., The Amazing Mrs. P., and The Elusive Mrs. P. (For those of us who are NOT Angela Lansbury fans, no, the character in the books bears no resemblance to Lansbury, who made one of the films featuring Pollifax. I can't imagine what the film-makers were thinking. Apparently they hadn't fully appreciated the Mrs. Pollifax character.)

Mrs. Pollifax is sent to Swiitzerland to seek out an "evil" agent who is involved in stealing plutonium for his middle-east country. Mrs. Pollifax adventure finds her with an intruder in her hotel room, a murder and her kidnappping...and she must talk and think fast to save her life. A great little book.
