"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."
