5.0 out of 5 stars Dorothy Gilman Does it Again!, June 16, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Mrs. Pollifax and the Whirling Dervish (Mass Market Paperback)

Once again, Dorothy Gilman brings her reader along
with Emily Pollifax on another of her adventures. This
time Mrs. Pollifax visits Morocco, from the medina of Fez
to a small village on the edge of the desert (complete with
camel caravan). As always, Mrs. Pollifax overcomes each
obstacle with grace and skill (and the occasional bit of
luck) and wins out in the end. We get a mini history
lesson of the area and a brief lesson on Sufi whirling.
Dorothy Gilman continues to provide lovers of mystery novels
with a heroine worthy of being any woman's (or man's) role
model. Thanks for another great read, Dorothy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Back to the old style!, July 13, 2001

By 

Bradley Cooper - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mrs. Pollifax and the Whirling Dervish (Mass Market Paperback)

After the disappointment of "Mrs. Pollifax and the Golden Triangle," Dorothy Gilman went back to the formula that works for the series with "Whirling Dervish." The story of Mrs. Pollifax traveling through a foreign land with a crusty agent makes for intrigue and comedy. A very enjoyable, exciting, quick read. Reminiscent in some ways of both "The Elusive Mrs. Pollifax" and "A Palm for Mrs. Pollifax."

5.0 out of 5 stars AN ENCHANTING SERIES, July 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mrs. Pollifax and the Whirling Dervish (Mass Market Paperback)

All of the books in the Mrs. Pollifax series (as well as the whole of Mrs. Gilmans' works) are truly delightful. The reader will be swept away by the adventure, humor and intrigue, all the while learning about the customs and history of foreign lands. You can start with any book in the series, but if you have the chance, read them all. They are not to be missed!
