I never really know what they are talking about. But I have the feeling that Mrs. Pollifax will be a bit more straightforward.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-70383526091350217872014-12-14T10:41:08.855-05:002014-12-14T10:41:08.855-05:00I will have to check out the Angela Lansbury versi...I will have to check out the Angela Lansbury version. It would be fun to see an updated version from the Rosiland Russell movie of 1971. My library now has many of Mrs. Pollifax's spy novels as ebooks and I just downloaded the first one.
