      Before Corrine’s husband abandoned her in Berlin, he liked to say that her name reminded him of the word “corrupt.” But ending in a twist rather than a split. Her last name was the French word for “swimsuit” but he never mentioned that. This seemed s

      Good fun, as usual. The coincidences are more preposterous than ever; an aunt with an Italian villa enters the story just when the CIA agents need a hideout, and naturally things at said villa are more complicated and full of not entirely legal intrigue. But with this series, I never mind suspending my disbelief, because I know exactly what I'm in for ... and nowadays, getting to escape into an universe in which good consistently kicks evil's butt is a good thing.
    • 4/5
      I gave it 4 stars and my favorite line is "I brought sneakers." Mrs.P. is my friend. I love to visit her and hear about her adventures.

      Great characters, exciting plot, unexpected twists, excellent writing style and dialogues.

      Mrs. Pollifax packs her garden hat and sneakers and head to Sicily to help a trapped CIA agent escape. Her contact there is a 26 year old woman with very little field experience but they make contact with a wounded Farrell and hide out in Kate's aunt villa protected by a stone wall. Of course, things are not as they seem but Mrs. Pollifax manages to sort it all out.

    • 5/5
      Set in Palermo, Italy this mystery is more light-hearted than some of the most recent books in the series. Mrs. Pollifax teams up with John Farrell again (this is the third time they've been featured together) and together they unwittingly expose a major conspiracy. This story is more random and yet filled with lots of fun. There are a couple of romances and eccentric characters.
