When Emily Pollifax answers the phone that Sunday morning, she quickly forgets all about her Garden Club tea that afternoon. For the voice on the other end belonged to a man she had never seen, a man from the CIA who asked her if she could leave immediately on a mission that would take her halfway across the world! What could Mrs. Pollifax say but yes?
This book in the Mrs Pollifax series suffers a bit of a sophomore slump but not much of one. The action starts on the first page and doesn't let up until the last. As always Mrs. Pollifax is cunning and amusing. 4 out of 5
