Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog. I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!
Goodreads: Mrs. Pollifax, Innocent Tourist by Dorothy Gilman
Blurb: Working with her retired CIA friend John Farrell, Mrs. Pollifax must smuggle a manuscript out of Jordan, a document that encodes the shocking truth of Saddam Hussein's reign.Hardly are the two airborne when the coils of Middle Eastern intrigue begin to unwind. Mrs. Pollifax's seatmate is not the affable Arab businessman he pretends to be.
It is not imagination that persuades Mrs. P. that wherever they go, she and Farrell are followed. To elude their pursuers in such a politically volatile country isn't easy. In fact, it can be downright deadly...
Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: I am almost done with this series but have been stalling on reading the last few books because I don't want to be done! I need to just get it done!
My sister loves to reread these mysteries...Mrs. Pollifax is such a fun character.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is the best series. Might be time to consider a reread of it in upcoming days. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good. Making a note of the series.
ReplyDeleteI've read and loved all the Mrs. Pollifax.
