This is her last book of the series and I am really sad because I loved this entire series. This book is a fun read and is both funny and exciting in different parts of the book. Her character is one who refuses to get old and do nothing so she works for the CIA on occasion and never fails to find adventure.

The worst thing about this book is that it is the last in the Mrs. Pollifax series. Still, it is an exciting story which shows Mrs. Pollifax at her best.

The last in a great series. It is nice to have a character who uses her retirement years to follow a dream and prove that age and knowledge can be just as important as youth and gadgets.

Still amusing, still very timely. Another Mrs. Pollifax adventure to delight & stimulate the mind.

Gilman's Mrs. Pollifax are easy to read, quick paperbacks that are thoroughly enjoyable. I found I really like the senior sleuth!

After 13 novels about "Mrs Pollifax" I was somewhat hesitant about reading another one in the author's style. Perhaps that's why I put off reading this last one for so long. In any case I was surprised, as I enjoyed it so much I finished it in one day.
This is the first of the series I've read and since reading "Unveiled" I've gotten several others at the library. A 60-something widow who, as courier for the CIA, becomes involved in spying in Egypt, Zambia, Bulgaria, Albaia, Turkey, etc. Pure fun.
Number 14 in the series.
