87. Mrs. Pollifax on Safari by Dorothy Gilman (Mystery, Spy Thriller) 223 p.
When CIA man Carstairs learns that a well-known assassin is meeting his next contact on a safari in Zambia, he needs to send an agent who is the perfect innocent tourist. Luckily, Mrs. Pollifax has always wanted to go on safari. Within a couple of days, she has gotten her shots, bought herself some safari outfits, and headed off to Africa. Her job? To photograph the members of the safari group, giving the CIA pictures of the assassin, from which they may be able to identify him or her. But what a coup, thinks Mrs Pollifax, if she could only identify the assassin herself!
Mrs. Pollifax is as kind and charming as ever, always optimistic, facing the world with irrepressible enthusiasm. This is the book in which she encounters Cyrus Reed, and it’s my favourite of the series so far. Another fun novel in the cozy spy thriller genre.
