Mrs. Pollifax and the Second Thief

By Dorothy Gilman
Scott County Library audioCDs 6.25 hours
Read by Barbara Rosenblatt

This isn’t one of my favorite Pollifax books, but I enjoyed it. Emily gets called in to help Farrell in Sicily. I like her innocent resourcefulness and the adventure. This is one of the few books that doesn’t have a follow-up scene with Carstairs and Bishop, which is one of my favorite aspects of the stories. Kate Rossiter and Farrell fall madly in love (someone has to) and Kate’s aunt finally decides to get married. Forged art, a poor but developing village, and the re-appearance of Aristotle are the scenery here.
