From the Publisher

My grandmother is a big fan of the MRS. POLLIFAX mysteries by Dorothy Gilman. I was at first hesitant
to try the books, because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to relate to mysteries featuring a suburban grandmother
working 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 first
in the series, and immediately found them delightful. Mrs. Pollifax is just the kind of grandmother I'd
love to have: resourceful, intelligent, somewhat sly, and, of course, a secret CIA operative. Her
adventures 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 them
to everyone who's interested in learning about different countries and cultures--and, obviously, espionage!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Mrs. Pollifax Wears Many Hats!, Juil 26 2003
In the follow-up to the charming debut novel, The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax, Dorothy Gilman writes another book filled with intrigue and heroism. Mrs. Pollifax, a widow who enjoys teas and garden clubs, sets out on her second courier job for the CIA, a mission which starts in Istanbul. Searching for a missing woman (an agent with international ties), Mrs. Pollifax poses as a tourist to track down the woman and smuggle her safely out of the country. Protected by only an agent, who has no idea what her real mission is to be, Mrs. Pollifax must use her newly acquired knowledge of karate and her unflappable nature to charm her way out of some sticky situations. Hair-raising as always, Mrs. Pollifax's second adventure will leave you wanting more!

I was thrilled to read the second adventure of Mrs. Pollifax, and enjoyed every moment spent with her on the case. Mrs. Pollifax is not a person that you would initially feel would make a good CIA agent. She is elderly, loves to wear outlandish hats, and finds a way to talk and get to know everyone around her. But it is just these qualities that make her so invisible in the world of spies, and even the most cynical of agents falls under her spell. I loved the fact that Mrs. Pollifax learned karate (since she hates guns I worried about how she could plausibly protect herself) and that she was just as lovable yet determined as she was in the previous book. If you have not tried this series, pick up a copy of this book and the previous book, The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax, and join the millions of others who are charmed by this beloved character! Enjoy!

A Cozy Mystery Lover

5.0étoiles sur 5 Mrs. Pollifax in Turkey, Fév 17 2003
Par Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Mrs. Pollifax is back and better than ever in the second book of the series. The mild-mannered widow who becomes an unlikely CIA agent is called again by her contact Mr. Carstairs. This time she is asked to go to Turkey where she will be in contact with Magda Ferenci-Sabo, a Russian spy who is defecting to the Free World. She is to give Magda money and a passport which will enable her to leave Turkey. Carstairs gives Mrs. Pollifax only 30 minutes to get ready, but the plucky widow is ready for another adventure. She flies to Turkey and sees Magda, but
she is unable to make contact before Magda flees. Thus, Mrs. Pollifax embarks on a wild ride, matching wits with a diabolical
double agent and surviving imprisonment, but along the way she makes friends with some unlikely allies. This book is delightful
ride from beginning to end and should be pleasing to "cozy" fans.

4.0étoiles sur 5 on the road again, Mai 31 2001
Par cynthia (sacramento, ca United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Mrs. Pollofax never fails to outsmart, outrun or outlive her evil opponents in her never-ending pursuit of adventure in the prime of her life. And this adventure, set in an incredibly well created Turkish countryside, is no exception. There is no need to worry about giving away the end because Mrs. Pollofax always gets her man. But the real intrigue in her novels is the roller coaster like adventures she encounters along the way. This novel does stand out among the others in its incredible ability to transport the reader right into the heart and minds of the gypsy communities of Turkey. This novel is highly recommended for the adventurer in all of us who remains eternally young at heart.
