It'd been too long since I had visited this old friend. In this book, the newly remarried Mrs. Pollifax sets off to Hong Kong to find out why one of Carstairs' informants has started sending him bogus information. Naturally, she is quickly in over her head. The formula is intact, although the finale of the book is very dark for the series (though not for a spy novel) and a bit rushed.

    I can't remember which side I'm supposed to be working for, and it is not in fact necessary for me...

I'd heard a lot of good things about Spy x Family, which is a new manga series. I gave the first volume a try, and was pleasantly surprised. It was very cute. The first volume focuses on how the three main characters come together, and how they begin the spy's mission, unbeknownst to the mother, who is actually an assassin. Since the adults don't know about each other's real professions, they are a little socially awkward while trying to appear as a real family. It makes for a cute first volume.

Exhilarating
Pace. This book has it, the most brilliant, non stop, don't put the book down pace. Despite finding WW2 fascinating I never thought of liking a spy thriller set then but actually it worked incredibly. Imagine being an enemy in an evil fascist state full of vile nazis and corruption, it is tense from start to finish, never letting up easing off. It will have your heart racing and reading just one more chapter every time. Extraordinarily exhilarating, Hitlers Secret is better than Bond.
