Enjoyable story

Another enjoyable Mrs Pollifax story. As with most the Mrs Pollifax books there are amazing coincidences that fall into place neatly. I love how these books make me smile.

The only drawback is the quality of the recording. You can hear a slight echo and there is some crackling.

The best of the best...so far!

The Mrs. Pollifax books are at once suspenseful, sometimes to the point of nail-biting, yet comforting! You know, or you sincerely hope, that all will be well in the end. But the ride to the end is a thrill!
How can stories about a little old lady be thrilling? Well, the author knows just how to enamor you to her characters so that you really do care about them. And this narrator brings them all to life. I feel like a fly on the wall throughout all the stories!
I highly recommend the series to all cozy mystery lovers. If you like the other books I've reviewed, you'll like these. They are most similar to Murder She Wrote except, more endearing. The way this particular one ended left me with my mouth hanging open! Now I MUST go on to the next volume IMMEDIATELY!!!! Sorry my review isn't longer, but I've no time. Gotta start the next book!!!!

Intrigue and Romance in Africa

I chose this particular Mrs. Pollifax mystery based on the locale - I've always wanted to go on a safari, and these stories are perfect for armchair travellers.
As is the case with the other books that I've read in this series, I enjoyed it immensely. Towards the end of the book there were a few scenes that didn't really ring true to me, but the story was strong enough that it didn't spoil it. There was also a little romance in this book - it's on safari that Emily meets Cyrus, so that filled in some gaps in her storyline for me.
Barbara Rosenblatt's narration is terrific, as it has been for anything I've listened to of hers.

Great fun!

Mrs. Pollifax at her best ! And Barbara Rosenblatt
Is a gift! I will listen to anything she narrates.

What an adventure

I always feel like I’m on assignment with Mrs. P. Been reading her since the beginning. On my third time around. What a joy!
