They grow a little dark and Mrs. Pollifax seems to lose some of her spunk. But she’s back in top form here." <br /><br />I love this series, but that is exactly how I feel about Whirling Dervish and the books immediately preceding it.<br /><br />Thanks for the link to Friday's Forgetten Books (as if I needed another meme to follow! But I love re-reading old favorites, and I've missed that as I've started receiving more and more ARCs.)Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-80880766786407648262013-08-30T20:16:05.989-07:002013-08-30T20:16:05.989-07:00I bought it the first time around, but I think see...I bought it the first time around, but I think seeing how it began and why Carstairs trusts her so much is important.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-15974423394065132962013-08-30T20:15:28.599-07:002013-08-30T20:15:28.599-07:00Old ladies who act like old ladies are one thing. ...Old ladies who act like old ladies are one thing.

Thanks for writing about Mrs. P. And I agree, starting at the beginning of the series is best--the first book makes it much easier to accept that Mrs. P. does what she does,and does it so well.Terrie Farley Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980849018232866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-74640640291587878342013-08-30T09:49:54.700-07:002013-08-30T09:49:54.700-07:00I've never been particularly drawn to mysterie...I've never been particularly drawn to mysteries with old ladies in them, but as I get closer to being one, I might be softening my stance.
