About this listen
Mrs. Virgil (Emily) Pollifax of New Brunswick, New Jersey, was a widow with grown children. She was tired of attending her Garden Club meetings. She wanted to do something good for her country. This first in the series sends Emily on her first case after she successfully persuades a skeptical CIA recruitment officer that she is the best person for the job.

Always a fun read.
Lovely story. I really enjoyed Mrs Pollifax’s crazy adventures. I read them back in high school and now can enjoy them again.

My favourite book and amazing performance
I adore Barbara Rosenblat and she did a marvellous job as she always does with the Mrs. Pollifax series! It’s a book I return to again and again (all of them in the series by Dorothy Gilman) and read/listen to kickstart the series.

Old story still holds up today
I really enjoyed this! I thought it might not hold up today but Mrs. Pollfax was such a good character and the story was quite thrilling at times. I plan to listen to the whole series.

We can all learn from Mrs. Pollifax
What an amazing book I loved it - too often as we get older, we stop taking chances we stop trying new things we stop pursuing our dreams - Mrs Pollifax will remind you not to

Most unusual story, refreshingly funny
I enjoyed the entire book, the characters and plot were very interesting, kept me guessing all the way to the end.

Absurd and endearing!
There are many light-hearted, amusing and downright absurd moments in this book and yet there are chilling and gritty times too. Somehow it all works. This is my first novel by Gilman and I’ve found it delightful! I fully intend to binge-listen to as many books in the series as are available in the catalogue.
