Dorothy Gilman A Palm for Mrs. Pollifax
Fawcett Crest 0449234460 / 9780449234464 MASS MARKET PAPERBACK Good
0449234460 Editorial Reviews n nProduct Description n"Mrs. Pollifax gives Agatha Christie's Miss Marple a rival to reckon with." nTORONTO STAR nA secret agent like no other, Mrs. Pollifax was leading a very full life: Garden Club, karate, yoga--and a little spying now and then. This time the mysterious Mr. Carstairs sent her to Switzerland--to a famous health resort where the world's intelligence agents had gathered. Her mission: to track down a missing package of plutonium--just enough to make a small atomic bomb. It was a job that suited Mrs. Pollifax's talents. She's good with people and even better at sniffing out their secrets. But it was not until she became enchanted with Robin, the young jewel thief, that her new adventure really began.... --This text refers to an alternate Mass Market Paperback edition. n nFrom the Publisher nMy grandmother is a big fan of the MRS. POLLIFAX mysteries by Dorothy Gilman. I was at first hesitant nto try the books, because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to relate to mysteries featuring a suburban grandmother nworking for the CIA. But because my grandmother's taste in literature has always been impeccable, nI decided to delve into Mrs. Pollifax's adventures. I began with THE UNEXPECTED MRS. POLLIFAX, the first nin the series, and immediately found them delightful. Mrs. Pollifax is just the kind of grandmother I'd nlove to have: resourceful, intelligent, somewhat sly, and, of course, a secret CIA operative. Her nadventures take her to all corners of the globe: from an authentically described communist China n(MRS. POLLIFAX ON THE CHINA STATION) to an exhilarating safari across Africa (MRS. POLLIFAX ON nSAFARI). I've thoroughly enjoyed joining her on her adventures, and intend to read them all. I recommend them nto everyone who's interested in learning about different countries and cultures--and, obviously, espionage! n n--Malinda Lo, Editorial Assistant --This text refers to an alternate Mass Market Paperback edition.
