My 3rd Mrs. Pollifax book and a delight. I like her because she is spunky and my age (near it anyway). She is brave and compassionate and likes to break the rules.

This series is excellent and surprising. An unusual book because it is about a CIA operative who is well past the age you would normally expect to find. This is because Mrs. Pollifax didn't start until after her kids were raised with kids of their own and she was a widow finding life dull and boring. Her life is anything but now as she circles the globe finding adventure and risk wherever she goes. This is the third book in the series.

I had a great time following this little old lady through her adventures and had a strong urge to compare it to the old black and white, Alfred Hitchcock, movie, "The Lady Vanishes". Definitely a read more than once book.

A fellow member recommended Dorothy Gilman's books to me and I have not been disappointed with any of her books. In this book, The Elusive Mrs. Pollifax she is sent to Bulgaria on a daring mission filled with adventure, danger, and to her excitement. This is probably one of her most action filled books that will make a great read for anyone. I highly recommend.

This is such a fun mystery! Mrs. Pollifax appears to be a grandmotherly-type and she makes friends with various people who have talents that help solve the crime. This story is set in Bulgaria. I'm reading another of the series now.

Another great Mrs Pollifax story. This time she is headed in to give passports to the fledgling Bulgarian underground . . . carrying it in her hat! Of course she meets people on the way and causes the situation to be turned on its head. Very enjoyable book with the right ending.

Book # 3 in the Mrs Pollifax series. I enjoy these books as she is an interesting character and fun. A light hearted mystery that starts out as a simple delivery by the CIA and she is kidnapped and held in a Bulgarian prison. She befriends everyone she meets which helps her in the end.
