4.0 out of 5 stars Mrs. Pollifax in Thailand, April 21, 2003

Mrs. Pollifax is trying to recover from her last adventure in Hong Kong and is planning a trip to Thailand with her new husband, Cyrus. Just as they are about to leave, CIA emissary Bishop arrives and asks them to go on a "simple mission" in which they would divert their travels only slightly and would deliver something to an agent and retrieve something in return.
She and Cyrus agree and soon they are off on their latest misadventure. As always, in Mrs. Pollifax tales, things do not go according to plan and there are unfortunate incidents of murder, kidnapping, and opium dealing before Mrs. Pollifax finally triumphs and ties up these untidy details in a nice, neat package. This is a typical book in the series.

Mrs. Pollifax is in Thailand being pursued while trying to find her kidnapped husband and ends up helping the CIA on accident.I really like the ending. I recomend this book and the rest of the series to anyone who likes mysteries with a sense humor.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pollifax too passive, October 18, 2006

The Pollifax series is a great series that I highly recommend. In this contribution, the location is Thailand, which with its local color and interesting characters, has the possible of being one of the best of the series. But somehow it does not quite live up to this potential. Mrs Pollifax is too passive, relaying on her Thai guide to solve all the problems and constantly complaining that he is not doing it fast enough. I prefer a more assertive Pollifax, who because of her empathy for other people, depite stumbling around, always manages to be in the right place at the right time. This book has some of those elements, but not enough. Still for fans of the series, it is a nice contribution. If it is your first visit to the series, I would recommend you start with another. But by all means, start.
