Janice S. (kaffie) reviewed Mrs. Pollifax and the Whirling Dervish (Mrs Pollifax, Bk 9) (Audio Cassette) (Abridged) on + 17 more book reviews
Even an abridged version of Mrs. Pollifax should get 5 stars, simply because its heroine is such a hoot! In the books, Mrs. Pollifax finds life pointless and depressingly unsatisfying after her children have left home. Hoping to counteract this malaise, she tries the improbable remedy of offering her services to the CIA. Miss Marple never had so much fun!
In real life, the author began the series for a similar reason and painstakingly researched the geography and politics of all the countries where Mrs. Pollifax works as a spy, even visiting these obscure hot spots herself. Nothing brightens up a gray day like reading Dorthy Gilman, and Mrs. Pollifax is simply a delight.
