This is definitely dated and some cringy racial language ("Oriental" and calling someone "The Genie" because they don't know his name). That aside, Mrs. Pollifax is fun. The whole idea of showing up at the CIA in retirement because you're too healthy to die is such a good premise.
I was pleasantly surprised by this action-adventure novel. It was well-written, well-characterized, well-plotted... everything you could ask for, and with added bits of humor and thoughtfulness thrown in. I think it would appeal to a wide variety of people, particularly those who like plot-driven novels and quirky old people.
