![]() She is a widow with children who have grown up and moved away. I do not know how this reflects on my detecting skills, but I hopefully made up for it by predicting the main twist towards the end (even if I have to convince myself of that) Only some chapters in did I suddenly realise that this was not a contemporary narrative. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.įor some strange reason, when I picked this off my Kindle to read, I had forgotten that it was a reprint. ![]() If you like the sound of a book where a resourceful old lady outsmarts her kidnappers and rescues two fellow prisoners then I think you'll love this, I thought the 'twist' was obvious from the outset, but then I've seen a lot of spy films. Of course little old ladies (laugh that a woman a decade older than me is deemed a little old lady) are famous for not doing the expected and soon Mrs Pollifax finds herself captured and kidnapped. Of course Mrs Pollifax is almost the exact opposite of a spy, but that what makes her perfect for a simple assignment in Mexico City. Full of determination she walks into the CIA building and offers her services. Then a chance chat with her doctor reminds Mrs Pollifax that she once wanted to be a spy. ![]() ![]() She's so bored that she almost, almost steps off the roof of her apartment building. ![]() Mrs Emily Pollifax is an unremarkable widow living an uneventful life, volunteering at the local hospital, garden club, book club etc. ![]()
