Once again the irrepressible Mrs. Pollifax, that very special agent with her own very special brand of logic, is off on an incredible escapade of international intrigue . . . from the exotic towns and countryside of Turkey to a mysterious rendezvous with a gypsy caravan.“You are in effect replacing a dead man, Mrs. Pollifax. . . .”When Emily Pollifax answered the phone that Sunday morning she … that Sunday morning she quickly forgot about her Garden Club tea in the afternoon. The last time she had heard the voice on the other end of the line it had sent of her off on a journey that plunged her into a wild tangle of secret agents and high adventure.
Now the man from the CIA was asking if she could leave immediately on a mission that would take her halfway across the world. What could Mrs. Pollifax say but yes?

I liked all the Mrs. Pollifax Books
Loved all the Mrs Pollifax books. Read them several years ago.
Mts Pollifax is my favorite spy. This book and all the books in the series are delightful!
I loved all of the Mrs. Pollifax books. Easy reads, G-rated, likable characters. I recommend the entire series!
Loved how the mature woman still had it in her to be the solution to the need
This is a good book, adventure, surprises and a lot of fun. An enjoyable book!
A fun lively protagonist—something different , a woman in her 60s with spunk and smarts.
Great easy read with characters that seem outlandish today; after all who in the intelligence services would hire a widow with only life experience and a desire to serve her country and no other reccommendations
Lots of fun. First 1/2 dozen in series are best, but all are worth reading.
Mrs. Pollifax is a wonderful, unexpected heroine. I love all of the books in this series!
I love the quirky, yet sensible, Mrs Pollifax! She is smart, wise and brave. The books are fun to read.
Although it may seem a simple straightforward story, Dorothy Gilman’s books are quite inspirational, with life lessons woven into the story line. A look at the list of her favorite books gives a good idea of some of the underlying beliefs and lessons her characters have learned or learn during the experiences recounted in the story. Very well done. Her books can be read on several levels.
I love, love, love Mrs. Pollifax and her wacky adventures! So great to find a hero who is elderly but still resourceful, bold, and positive about life. Fun, also, to get a glimpse of the world political situation from 60 years ago.
I love the Mrs. Pollifax books. I have read them all, but plan on reading some of my favorites again over the next year or so. Mrs. Pollifax is a gem!
Wonderful book
A little bit dated but that added to the charm. I liked it
I read the Mrs. Pollifax mysteries years ago and have started reading them again on my Kindle. She is a wonderful character and although she does seem to have remarkable powers of survival (is that really possible?), nothing is so over the top as to be unbelievable.
I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve ever read by this author (more than ten books). Mrs. Polifax is her best character and I’m willing to go on any adventure with her.
