Mrs. Pollifax and the Whirling Dervish (Mrs Pollifax #9)

Carstairs has doubts about the agent they are sending to Morocco to verify a network of spies, so he sends Mrs. Pollifax along to help smooth things over. But when the first spy is killed an hour after they identify him, Mrs. Pollifax realizes she's in deep trouble.

While the last couple of books in the series aren't quite up to bar, this is a return to form in most ways. Mrs. Pollifax is a resourceful and charming as ever, and the plot is as fun and fast paced as it is improbable. A perfect escape.

Best movie ever!
Okay seriously this is the greatest movie of all time and if you disagree with me you're wrong. Sam Neil? Yep! Laura Dern? Yep! Jeff Goldblum? Yep! I could go on. Oh yeah, and it has dinosaurs and everything goes wrong because well obviously and they had to find a way out of that park to escape all of the dangerous dinosaurs that would kill them. Maybe it wasn't the best idea bringing back the dinosaurs but it sure does make for a great movie, let's leave it that way scientists on the big screen. “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

I was in grade school when the events of Columbine happened. There was no way to escape the horrendous details that happened at Columbine. I still have snapshot memories associated with the news reports. The events at Columbine have always made me queasy but I have always wanted to learn more.

This book was horrifying but beautifully researched. I have to admit, I've owned this book for many years and I finally sat down and read/listened to it. Honestly, this was one of the hardest books I have ever listened to.

I would recommend this book to many people. It's a fascinating read for any fan of true crime, criminology, social psychology, and general sociology.
