"I think this is the scariest Mrs. Pollifax book so far and the one where I really felt myself fearing for her life. Of course, I knew nothing was going to happen to her since there are several books left in the series but still! Loved that Robin Burke-Jones came back for this book. It's great to see recurring characters."

— Shena, 12/29/2013 -

" I love the Mrs. Pollifax books! She is my hero! "
— Melissa, 11/29/2013 -
" This one was really great because old friends are included and Mrs. Pollifax doesn't come out of this one unscathed. I think that the series would be dull if she never got into real harm. "
— Christina, 11/11/2013 -
" Reread in December 2012. "
— Roxanne, 10/27/2013 -

— Laura, 8/8/2013 -
" Yet another nail biting Mrs. Pollifax. "
— Julie, 2/12/2013 -
" What an exciting retirement! The idea appeals to me of an older person who has some adventures after raising children. However, in reality, I wouldn't want my Grandma doing those things. I should learn some martial arts because, I like to be unexpected, unassuming, secretly awesome. "
— Clare, 12/27/2012 -

— Melissa, 8/9/2010 -
" This is the seventh in the series...I missed the sixth and need to go find it. I hate gaps in series books. <br/> <br/>Old friends show back up here and Mrs. Pollifax comes through with her usual panache. These are good (and fun) reads and I recommend them. "
— Mike, 7/26/2010 -
" This book is much heavier than the previous books. I thought the China Station was heavy, but his book is darker. "
— Sarah, 6/13/2010 -
" As other reviewers have mentioned, this was a much darker story than we are used to from the series. However, the reviewers seem to recommend the next one, so I look forward to reading that! "
— Carrie, 5/23/2010 -
" I always enjoy Mrs. Pollifax, the spy, with her flowered hats and her not-quite-lethal karate chops. This one has her going up against Nationalist Chinese fanatics. It’s really escapist but it’s fun – and very affirming for white-haired women like me. "
— Jenny, 3/27/2010 -
" Mrs. Pollifax, the little CIA agent that could, is funny if quite unrealistic. These books are sort of a cross between Miss Marple and a spy novel. This doesn't disappoint, a fun clever story set in an Eastern milieu. "
— Lexi, 1/31/2010 -
