The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax -- Dorothy Gilman

<b>"Should delight you whether you're looking for smiles or thrills."--</b><i><b>The New York Times Book Review</b><br></i><br>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. <p/>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. <p/><b>"Mrs. Pollifax gives Agatha Christie's Miss Marple a rival to reckon with."--<i>Toronto Star</i></b><br><br><b>Author:</b> Dorothy Gilman<br><b>Publisher:</b> Fawcett Books<br><b>Published:</b> 01/12/1985<br><b>Pages:</b> 208<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.23lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 6.94h x 4.26w x 0.59d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780449208281<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Dorothy Gilman</b> (1923-2012) was the author of 14 Mrs. Pollifax novels, including <i>The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax, </i>the series debut; <i>Mrs. Pollifax Pursued;</i> <i>Mrs. Pollifax and the Lion Killer;</i> <i>Mrs. Pollifax, Innocent Tourist;</i> and <i>Mrs. Pollifax Unveiled</i>.
