I must not be smarter than the average bear...

Any additional comments?

Once again, I didn't figure out who "did it" until 5 seconds before they exposed him. The plot is very well written. There were a few extraneous things that weren't germane to the plot, but they didn't take away from it. I thoroughly enjoyed this one -- like I have all of the previous books in the series. It's also fun to go back in time, when they couldn't pick up a cell phone, or get onto the Internet, or all of the other things we take for granted these days. So fun!!

Mrs Pollifax is an observant spy!

Emily Pollifax leaves her husband Cyrus at home so she can accompany Kadi on her way to Ubangiba. A fun novel with twists and turns leading the reader to certain characters. The are no lions in Ubangiba.

Mrs Pollifax meets some amazing people along the way on this personal trip. Some are worth the trip and others are not.

Suitable for the whole family. Kids may have a hard time following along but the verbiage is clean and the characters stay out of the bedroom. A quick listen. And you can't beat this kind of fun on television!

Enjoy Mrs Pollifax today. You will want to listen in order if you can. If you can't, don't sweat it. The story doesn't require that you know the previous novel.

My family really enjoys the spunk show by Mrs Pollifax.

Great series

Would you consider the audio edition of Mrs. Pollifax and the Lion Killer to be better than the print version?

Absolutely loved this whole series. Narration was great except for the last book in the series. Loved the locations and the detailed description about the people, customs, and traditions. Mrs. Pollifax character was a delight and loved her. Listened to the series twice through I enjoyed it so much. The narrator was so good, I can't imagine that reading the books would have been nearly as enjoyable.

Another great Mrs. Pollifax story

What did you love best about Mrs. Pollifax and the Lion Killer?

The character of Mrs. Pollifax is what keeps my attention in this series. She is interesting, inquisitive and engaging. Dorothy Gilman keeps all of the side characters interesting also.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I honestly did not have any idea who the villain was until it was revealed at the end of the book.

What about Barbara Rosenblat’s performance did you like?

Barbara Rosenblat reads very well and does different voices and accents superbly.

Any additional comments?

I think it is best to listen to the preceding book. Mrs. Pollifax Pursued because the characters from the last book carryover into this book and you will understand what is going on better.

Good Story

Good story, but I missed Carstairs and Bishop. I feel that they always add to the plot..

Great

It's was yet another great book of Mrs P. Still waiting for the last one to come out done by Barbara Rosenblat because Sharon does no Mrs P she actually killed it for me. I went out and brought a hard copy of Mrs Pollifax unveiled to read.

great

wonderful addition to a fantastic series, makes more sense if you have read/heard Mrs. Pollifax Pursued

Not one of my favorites

But Mrs Pollifax is always entertaining. Prefer Cyrus to travel with her. Returning characters are a plus.

least favorite mrs pollifax

What happened to the three clever characters in the previous book-mrs pollifax, kadi and sami? They used their intuition, brains and the skills they had ingeniously solving problems. But not in this follow up book, it felt like too many soap opera scenes and lack of substance and progress. It was annoying and disappointing.
