The Unexpected Mrs Pollifax(A Mrs Pollifax Mystery)

Mrs Emily Pollifax is a 60-ish widow wanting more from life than teas and garden club meetings. In search of adventure, she decides to offer her services to the CIA—who, after all, would spot a suburban grandmother as a Cold War secret agent?—and adventure she finds.

Her first assignment, in Mexico City, doesn't sound dangerous—until something goes wrong. She suddenly finds herself abducted across the world, embroiled in quite a hot Cold War... and her abductors find themselves entangled with one unbelievably feisty lady.

Armed with only an open mind and a little karate, Mrs Pollifax is the most lovable and unlikely of international spies.

The Unexpected Mrs Pollifax captures the essence of a suburban grandmother turned spy, presenting an engaging tale of espionage and personal growth.
