A delightfully written story. Very entertaining with a hint of education bot for the time period and locale.
reviewed Unexpected Mrs Pollifax on
This is the first book of many starring the delightful Mrs. Pollifax.

She is an elderly widow who gets bored with life and--due to a mistake at the CIA--succeeds in her desire to become a spy. Her naivete, coupled with her sharp wits lead her into a series of hilarious adventures, some of which have had me laughing out loud. These books are not "deep," long, or very literary in quality, but I have read as many in this series as I could get my hands on and enjoyed them all.

Highly recommended for light reading. No bad language, sex, or unnecessarily or horrifically violent scenes, though there is suspense.
