From the Publisher

My grandmother is a big fan of the MRS. POLLIFAX mysteries by Dorothy Gilman. I was at first hesitantto try the books, because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to relate to mysteries featuring a suburban grandmotherworking for the CIA. But because my grandmother's taste in literature has always been impeccable,I decided to delve into Mrs. Pollifax's adventures. I began with THE UNEXPECTED MRS. POLLIFAX, the firstin the series, and immediately found them delightful. Mrs. Pollifax is just the kind of grandmother I'dlove to have: resourceful, intelligent, somewhat sly, and, of course, a secret CIA operative. Heradventures take her to all corners of the globe: from an authentically described communist China (MRS. POLLIFAX ON THE CHINA STATION) to an exhilarating safari across Africa (MRS. POLLIFAX ON SAFARI). I've thoroughly enjoyed joining her on her adventures, and intend to read them all. I recommend themto everyone who's interested in learning about different countries and cultures--and, obviously, espionage!--Malinda Lo, Editorial Assistant

A surprising, complete delight. I try to mix up my reading by selecting a cozy for every fifth or sixth book. I'd never read a Mrs. Pollifax book, so I thought I'd check one off of my list.I'm very glad I did. Rarely have I had such a surprising good time. My first surprise was finding out that it wasn't a cozy mystery but was instead a cozy spy story. My second surprise was discovering that it wasn't all that cozy, because it had as much action as a Tom Clancy book. Add to that delightful characters, wild but charming coincidences, an exotic setting, bad guys who are really, really bad, excitement that constantly pushes the story forward, a little romance, wonderful humor, a lot of charm, and a heroine who is as brave as she is smart, and you have a book that gives you a big smile on every page. I'm looking forward to my next Mrs. Pollifax adventure.I "read" this using Amazon's Whispersync technology with the Audible audio version, and particularly wonderful was the brilliant narrator, Barbara Rosenblat. From American English to British English to French, Turkish, and Roma, she did it all with gusto. Rosenblat brought a sly but subtle sense of humor, and she gave each character an instantly recognizable identity and strong personality. She was tremendous fun to listen to and I want to check out more of her work.

I fell in love with Mrs. Pollifax stories over 20 years ago. I've been a fan since The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax. Now that I'm in my 60's while not widowed, than the good LORD, I still love them. I bought a tablet and it had Kindle on it. I rediscovered Mrs. Pollifax and pulled the books I have in paperback out to read in order again. I have loved the character and how much fun she had, even when all seems lost, it always works out. It's time to see some older people having fun and being useful. I've enjoyed Agatha Christie for years with both Miss. Marple and Hercule Poirot, move over Miss Marple you have some serious competition. I found there are newer Mrs. Pollifax that I can add to my Kindle at a low price. I'll have them all before long. Thank you Dorothy Gilman, these are delightful to read and I love the characters.

I was aware of the Mrs. Pollifax series from the mid 1960's when they started to show up in the Middle School Library where I worked. I loved the "funny" name. Cannot remember if the kids loved them or not, but I do know they got checked out. Fast forward 30 plus years and me retired, and using Kindle, and Audible.com to "read" most of my books. I find intriguing fiction easy to listen to on audible as I can set my phone app to turn off after a chapter, or even after a few minutes, and then go back and listen again to what I missed the night before. Surprised that Mrs. Pollifax, the main character is a retired woman who goes on these amazing trips to parts of the world I would never visit as an unlikely spy for the CIA. I am trying now to read the series and am fascinated by world events as told through her adventures, especially in the later books. Sadly, the author has passed away and thus no new books are forthcoming.The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax takes our antagonist to the culture of Turkey and surrounding area, during the cold war. We meet with gypsies, and serious adventure as Mrs. Pollifax and several people from many backgrounds try to get a female counter spy out of the area. A surprise ending brings a great deal of warmth into the tale. In the early books many of the characters know each other from experiences in WWII. The author hopefully did lots of research on the people of the areas the heroine visits, and we of another generation benefit from her insights.

I love Mrs. Pollifax. I got the first book, The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax, on BookBub a couple of weeks ago, and I was hooked. Mrs. P. is charming, principled, and a hoot. The books are light reading, but with really evil villains and suspenseful moments. I'm only sorry that the Kindle Store doesn't have all of them. The books are set during the Cold War, and sticklers for realism in their novels may disapprove, but I love Mrs. P's outlook, her acceptance of foreign cultures, and her joie de vivre. Hooray for Mrs. Pollifax!

I was pleasantly surprised to find that I loved this book and I'm now waiting to read Book 5. Mrs Pollifax is like the geriatric, female version of Jack Reacher. Finds herself in all sorts of dangerous spots, but always manages to find her way out by using common sense and logical thinking. She is the most unlikely spy, but she manages to pull it off with flair. If you like Ms. Marple, you'll love Mrs. Pollifax. Give her a try.

This is the first Mrs. Pollifax book. It was fun to see how the world was 50 years ago but at times it jarred my sensibilities because the situation has changed. The humor also suffers from being dated. The character have become cliche's in the last 50 years so they wear well while reading but don't provide any additional insight. All in all it was nice quick read.MikeProbably 3.5 stars but it was so well crafted.

...then storyline inclines to a non stop, fast-paced read. Timeline set during cold war era, full of reasonably-plausible intrigue, the author includes political climate, historical and some cultural depth, as well as surrounding geographical scenery.I would appreciate more substance in wrapping up the plot, but Mrs. Pollifax--& the reader--need a rest!

The delightful heroine, favorite narrator. This must have been recorded early in Barbara Rosenblatt's career, as it starts out with a voice I almost didn't recognize, but as the book went on, I began to hear the voice I've loved for quite a while. The character development is excellent and, as an elderly lady, I can sympathize with her initial outlook and the response of the people with whom she was interacting. This book made me laugh out loud, which is always a sign of an excellent read.
