Synopsis"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

The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax - a must read - even her job interview with the CIA is fun
This is the first book in the Mrs. Pollifax series written by Dorothy Gilman. After reading it, you will be hooked if you enjoy spy-mystery and adventure, especially if the heroine is an elderly widow who needs some excitement in her life. When she meets the CIA her new life begins.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Uplifting & inspiring
This first in a series of 14 books shows the resourcefulness, confidence & competence of this delightful older woman whose doctor told her to do something she always wanted to do and laughed when she said she wanted to be a spy. She volunteers at the CIA & outwits everyone.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
