Publisher's summary

Emily Pollifax is one of a precious few gray-haired female sleuths who solve their cases through unflagging determination, moral courage and wisdom that comes with age. In The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax, Emily answers the call of that “nice Mr. Carstairs” to go to Istanbul as a courier and search for a missing agent.

Great classic mystery

I always enjoy Dorothy Gilman’s Mrs. Polifax stories. She weaves interesting tales with surprises woven in. And the narrator does an excellent job.

Love the series

This was the third one of the series for me. Good story. I actually discovered the series thru the narrator and her work with the Amelia Peabody books. Love the way she tells the story. Thank you!
