Book Description:
"THE PACE NEVER FLAGS, bolstered by the shrewd Mrs. P. and a host of well-defined characters who all work their surprising wiles."
--Publishers Weekly
In response to a desperate SOS, Kadi Hopkirk flies to the African country of Ubangiba, where her childhood friend, Sammat, is soon to be crowned king. Mrs. Pollifax, reluctant to allow the girl to venture alone into what she fears may be grave danger, crashes the party.
On arrival, Kadi and Mrs. P. soon discover that Sammat has dangerous enemies. Rumors are springing up that he is a sorcerer who is responsible for a rash of shocking murders in which the victims appear to have been clawed to death by a lion. These crimes are especially terrifying because there are no lions in Ubangiba. So Mrs. Pollifax wades into the fray, hunting for the source of the bloody terrorism that threatens Sammat and Ubangiba--not to mention Kadi and Mrs. Pollifax. . . .

Michelle C. (Book #12 in the Mrs. Pollifax series. Mrs Pollifax goes to Africa to help a childhood friend be crowned king. She helps to find out who is threatening her friend and stops the terrorism. Another mystery is solved by the cool-headed Mrs. Pollifax. She is one of my favorite characters and have read the entire series.

Mrs Pollifax goes to Africa to help her friend Kadi a fun mystery.
I first discovered Mrs. Polifax years ago and still find her charming. A light, fun read.
