Move Over Ms. Marple

Mrs. Pollifax is a wonder - like Ms. Marple people dismiss her and then she totally outwits and out maneuvers her adversaries as well as her associates. Ms. Rosenblat's narration is excellent, as usual. I am never disappointed with any of her readings. A series well worth listening and hopefully Ms. Gilman's heirs will allow all of her books to be available on Audible.

As Always, a Treat

I love listening to these. My favorite thing might be that so far these are all performed by the same woman. Really adds something to it. They're just so fun to read. I highly recommend.

Mrs Pollifax comes to the rescue again!

I have listened to 6 books about Mrs Pollifax and have enjoyed all of them. Mrs Pollifax leads a double life in each book. She is a garden club member and fine upstanding citizen while in New Jersey. But while on vacation she works for the CIA. I plan to listen to all the books in the series.

Wow!

This series keeps getting better and better. If you want more so-called "plausible" stories...read true crime or hard fiction. This is for folks who love Jessica Fletcher and Miss Marple. Mrs Pollifax always manages to meet the most helpful people or at least people who don't know how helpful they are going to be. Her bravery and determination inspires everyone around her...and me too! I laugh and cry listening to these stories.

Riveting

These books keep getting better. I really enjoy Barbara's narration. She really brings the stories to life.
The humor and wit is very entertaining and the action and danger kept me engrossed. I look forward to reading more in this series!
