POLLIFAX mysteries by Dorothy Gilman. I was at first hesitant\u003cbr\u003e\nto try the books, because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to relate to mysteries featuring a suburban grandmother\u003cbr\u003e\nworking for the CIA. But because my grandmother's taste in literature has always been impeccable,\u003cbr\u003e\nI decided to delve into Mrs. Pollifax's adventures. I began with THE UNEXPECTED MRS. POLLIFAX, the first\u003cbr\u003e\nin the series, and immediately found them delightful. Mrs. Pollifax is just the kind of grandmother I'd\u003cbr\u003e\nlove to have: resourceful, intelligent, somewhat sly, and, of course, a secret CIA operative. Her\u003cbr\u003e\nadventures take her to all corners of the globe: from an authentically described communist China\u003cbr\u003e\n(MRS. POLLIFAX ON THE CHINA STATION) to an exhilarating safari across Africa (MRS. POLLIFAX ON\u003cbr\u003e\nSAFARI). I've thoroughly enjoyed joining her on her adventures, and intend to read them all. I recommend them\u003cbr\u003e\nto everyone who's interested in learning about different countries and cultures--and, obviously, espionage!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n--Malinda Lo, Editorial Assistant\u003cbr\u003e\n      From the Inside Flap      \u003cbr\u003e\nnt is a snap: Mrs. Pollifax just has to shoot some pictures at a quiet funeral outside Washington and take them to Sicily, where her old friend Farrell -- a former CIA agent turned art dealer -- anxiously awaits them.\u003cbr\u003e\nBut like all Mrs. P's assignments, so ostensibly suitable for the CIA's favorite garden club member, this one quickly turns lethal.
