Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated Mrs. Pollifax, Innocent Tourist (Mrs. Pollifax, #13) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Mrs. Pollifax teams up with her old friend Farrell and heads to Jordan to smuggle out a manuscript about life in Iraq under Saddam Hussein. Their mission is complicated when someone - the wrong someone – seems interested in them. Might it have something to do with Mrs. Pollifax’s seatmate from the plane?

Welcome back to the late 90’s and the penultimate Mrs. Pollifax adventure. Things get off to a great start, but unfortunately Mrs. Pollifax isn’t a driving force in most of the climax. That’s only a minor complaint because any time spent with Mrs. Pollifax is plenty of fun, and that holds true again here. The characters, new and old, are a delight. And the book provides a good reminder of the political situation of 20 years ago.

Good for family Easy to learn Stopped my family driving me mad (0 more)

Went into my local game shop, explained I was goiyaway with the family and all we ever do in the evening is play the same 2 games of cards and I wanted to liven things up without frightening them with modern technology! This is what the guy recommended and it worked a treat. My mother has asked me to bring it over every time I visit. So long as you have 15-20 minutes to brush up on how the "dealer" role works the game moves at a good pace and no one feels like they are getting a bad deal as the game is easy to understand and those with poorer cards are compensated in the next turn.
Would highly recommend if going away or staying with young family to break the monotony.

A book where the President’s son falls for the Prince of Wales? Sign me up!

This book is raunchy and the language is rather explicit, and my goodness, I loved it. This one was one of my rare audiobook listens, and I was driving down the road laughing and crying. Wiping away actual tears at points.

McQuiston combines a sort of coming of age love story against the backdrop of politics. Both storylines are compelling beyond belief. Alex, the President’s son and our main character, is incredibly well-written. Funny, sweet, and so real. And Henry, our Prince, is lovely too. It’s impossible not to root for them.

This book is witty, sweet, a surprising nail biter at times, and offers such a great message—now more than ever. (And the narrator in this one was easily my favorite in my limited audiobook career.) Cannot recommend it enough!
