MRS. POLLIFAX UNVEILED

In this latest book in Gilman’s series, Mrs. Pollifax flies to Syria on another mission. She must find Amanda Pym, a young American who saved 200 people on a highjacked plane and then disappeared. Even though Mrs. Pollifax is a harmless appearing grandmother, Sharon Williams often makes her voice sound too young and sweet. As the story progresses however, Williams finds a more settled and mature voice for Mrs. Pollifax. Williams gives an appropriate ring of authority to Carstairs and changes easily into an Arabic accent when needed, and her clear diction and excellent pacing draw us deeper and deeper into the adventure.
