Polifax espionage novels are not as intense as Mitch Rapp, Dewey Andras, Court Gentry, Jack Ryan, Pike Logan, or Scot Harvath espionage novels, but they are reasonably intense while also being fun. They are also a fascinating mixture of strong intellectual reasoning and naivete on the part of Mrs. Pollifax series are fast paced, contain a lot of action, and are very suspenseful.
So, of course, she goes to Washington DC and volunteers to work for the CIA. It starts when a New Jersey widow in her mid-60's with two grown children and three grandchildren named Emily Pollifax is advised by her doctor to find something she really would like to do to keep busy. I've read the entire series, but having the fabulous voice of British actress Barbara Rosenblat narrate in her Americanized accent is a special treat. This novel has been adapted in movies in 1971 (Rosalind Russel starring) and in 1999 (Angela Lansbury starring). Pollifax espionage series was written between the years 19.
Pollifax among the titles available in Audible's February first in a series sale. I could no believe my good fortune when I found Dorothy Gilman's The Unexpected Mrs. I do love this espionage series - MAGNIFICENT!!
