Dorothy Gilman has written another Mrs. Pollifax book, "Mrs.
Pollifax on the China Station." For those of you who have not read any of this series, I highly recommend them for simply enjoyable reading. Mrs. Pollifax
is a middle to late aged widow who decides to join the CIA. The books are
spy novels with a light heart; Ms Gilman has created a character who is open
minded and witty, full of human strength and goodness.
The books are exciting adventures and accurate
enough to hold a fairly knowledgable person's interest (but don't expect
LeCarre). I would be happy to discuss this book with anyone else who has
read it (I thought it should have been much longer).
If your're looking for a good book to relax with, and maybe more of the
same, try the first book, "The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax", and then read
them all!
