Unsophisticated but fun, the Mrs. Pollifax books are quick, easy reads. I enjoyed this one more than the previous two in the series.
Chosen as a decoy (because she is so good at looking like an 'innocent tourist') to accompany her old friend Farrell to Jordan, here Mrs. Pollifax, as usual, gets swept up in events more dangerous than anticipated. The mild risk of their intended mission (secretly picking up a manuscript from a dissident Iraqi author) is compounded when the innocent tourist 'disguise' leads the two into a web of murder, terrorism and kidnapping...

In her the first Mrs. Pollifax book, Mrs. Pollifax is a mature older woman who was bored with life so she walked in to the CIA and asked for a job as a spy/secret agent! She had no idea what she was getting herself in to--but she is having a great time. I have loved all of the Mrs. Pollifax books and this one is no exception--another great adventure.

If you don't know Mrs. Pollifax, you are in for a treat! She is the most unexpected type of spy you will find. Always interesting!

Mrs. Pollifax heads to Jordan to assist in retrieving a manuscript smuggled out of Iraq. Published in 1997 but sadly many of the Mid-Eastern scenarios feel like they could have been written last week. A fast read, entertaining, with a little local history and color thrown in â an enjoyable couple of hours. I won't remember it a month from now, but no matter.
