About this listen

In Dorothy Gilman’s best-selling mystery series, loveable grandmother Emily Pollifax has captured the hearts of millions with her secret CIA missions.

Mrs. Pollifax, Innocent Tourist whisks the gray-haired agent into a perilous web of intrigue that spreads across the drifting sands of the volatile Middle East. An old CIA friend, Farrell, must collect an inflammatory manuscript smuggled out of Iraq into Jordan. Farrell has a simple request for Emily—provide cover during his trip to Jordan by posing as his fun-loving elderly cousin. But before the plane even lands, danger begins stalking the sprightly Mrs. Pollifax.

Outwitting her wily opponents with her keen eye for the truth and her impeccable karate, Mrs. Pollifax is the lively senior citizen everyone dreams of someday becoming. You’ll feel you know the aging spy and her colorful opponents personally with Barbara Rosenblat’s outstanding narration.

Somehow, I never read this one of the series. Farrell has a need to go to Jordan and wait for an unknown contact to rescue a last manuscript for a friend who died in Saddam Hussein's prison. But he needs a plausible cover and Emily is the only one he trusts to go with him. Add in terrorists, camels, and the historical site of Petra to make this an engaging and gripping mystery.
This falls into historical fiction even though it was written in 1997.
The wonderful narrator Barbara Rosenblat really makes it even better!

Farrell was a crybaby in this book a few times. Thanks Mrs. Pollifax for ignoring that!

I have read all of Dorothy Gilman's books, but it doesn't stop me from listening to them on tape over and over. I look forward to long commutes as long as I have a great story to listen to.
