Emily Pollifax accompanies her young friend Kadi back to Africa, where a mutual friend is to be crowned king of his small country. But when several people are slashed by murderous lion claws and Kadi disappears, Mrs. Pollifax must begin a perilous investigation.

Fortunately for all, staunch determination and polished karate skills are on her side.

I am a major Mrs Pollifax fan but this one did not live up to its predecessors in the series. Only Barbara Rosenblatt’s usual sterling narration saved it. The story was slow, rambling and lacking in the usual action-filled excitement of Mrs Pollifax’s usual adventures. The ending was predictable and to be honest I was just glad it was over. I fervently hope the next book will be back to previous standards.

Not up to the rest of the series!

The entire series was excellent! I'll definitely read more by Dorothy Gilman!

The narrator is probably the best I've heard, providing numerous voices and accents!

Thoroughly Enjoyable

What did you love best about Mrs. Pollifax and the Lion Killer?

The character of Mrs. Pollifax is what keeps my attention in this series. She is interesting, inquisitive and engaging. Dorothy Gilman keeps all of the side characters interesting also.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I honestly did not have any idea who the villain was until it was revealed at the end of the book.

What about Barbara Rosenblat’s performance did you like?

Barbara Rosenblat reads very well and does different voices and accents superbly.

Any additional comments?

I think it is best to listen to the preceding book. Mrs. Pollifax Pursued because the characters from the last book carryover into this book and you will understand what is going on better.

Another great Mrs. Pollifax story

For the first time Mrs. Pollifax isn’t working for the CIA so this story takes depth and detail, always so well done, to another level.

Mrs. Pollifax’s Most Engaging Story

This plot was a bit convoluted, but anyway these adventures require a suspension of rationality. I mean, I couldn’t go for the number of hours without a toilet as happens in these stories, never mind all the other feats! But Rosenblat’s reading and the delightful energy of Mrs Pollifax make all of these stories a delight.

A bit convoluted, but I love Mrs Pollifax

Only recently discovered these wonderful books. Love Barbara Rosenblat’s performances in each book. Her characterizations are perfect for the author’s priceless material.

In love with Mrs Polifax

Highly recommend this author and title. Complex enough to hold the attention of seasoned readers & ‘clean’ enough to listen with my teenage granddaughters. We are huge Polifax fans!

Wholesome intrigue & suspense featuring a most unlikely heroine.
