You do have to suspend disbelief a bit with Mrs. Pollifax - in this age of post 9/11 security, the whole premise would never have happened - but they are just delightful books.
Yes, she is a delight! Magnificent. Thoroughly enjoyed them and was completely immersed.

I suspect that even before 9/11 some of those guards might not have been so taken with her as the guards appeared to be--but I just loved the book anyway.

I will check out the stand alones too. I love stand alones.

Gilman apparently lived (or still does part time) in Albuquerque. Since I'm from NM, she's practically from my home town. Not that that matters to anything at all, but it warms my heart TOO!
