But it wasn’t. … simple enough. But it wasn’t. Because shortly after Mrs. Pollifax started taking pictures, someone stole her film. And right after that she was kidnapped by Rhodesian terrorists. And right after that—well, read for yourself. . .

A great read.
Wonder series I read many years ago about a woman who is still energetic though getting older who decides to join the CIA and her adventures.
Mrs. Pollifax is off to Zambia to join a safari that also includes the famed assassin Aristotle. Can she figure out which of her traveling companions he is? Or will an innocent message she leaves before the trip starts cause too many problems. I must admit I was surprised at how slowly this book starts. Much slower than I remembered. But overall it was still quite good.
LOVE this series! Clean and refreshing mystery with wit and wisdom. And Mrs. Pollifax meets Cyrus!
