The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax - Dorothy Gilman

Descriere

Should delight you whether you're looking for smiles or thrills.-- The New York Times Book Review Mrs. Virgil (Emily) Pollifax of New Brunswick, New Jersey, was a widow with grown, married children. She was tired of attending her Garden Club meetings. She wanted to do something good for her country. So, naturally, she became a CIA agent. She takes on a job in Mexico City. The assignment doesn't sound dangerous at first, but then, as often happens, something goes wrong. Now our dear Mrs. Pollifax finds herself embroiled in quite a hot Cold War--and her country's enemies find themselves entangled with one unbelievably feisty lady. Mrs. Pollifax gives Agatha Christie's Miss Marple a rival to reckon with.-- Toronto Star
