Mrs Pollifax Pursued is the eleventh in Dorothy Gilman's Mrs Pollifax series. Although I think the earlier ones are a bit better, I've liked pretty much all of this cozy series (which occasionally has a little timely bite to it - although the bites are a few decades old by now
).
Pursued has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

Quote:
“Mrs. Gilman has a nice, relaxed style and an easygoing way of telling a story. . . . Should delight you whether you're looking for smiles or thrills.”—The New York Times Book Review
The last thing Mrs. Pollifax expects to find in her junk closet is a young woman hiding. Kadi Hopkirk insists that she's being followed by two men in a dirty white van. Under the cover of darkness, Mrs. P. tries to drive Kadi back home to Manhattan, only to have a dark green sedan give them a run for their money and, Mrs. P. begins to suspect, their lives.
Finally Kadi shares the startling truth: her friend, Sammy, is the son of the assassinated president of an African country and, unbeknownst to the young man's bodyguard, he passed her something under the table during a recent meeting. Ever resourceful, Mrs. P. puts in a call for help to her CIA colleague, Carstairs, who installs them in a safe house—at a carnival! Before Mrs. P. knows it, a dash to safety expands into an assignment that leads to hair-trigger violence in exotic places. . . .
“Lively . . . funny . . . All’s right with the world as long as Mrs. Pollifax is part of it.”—Mobile Register

And, when I went to price check in the UK, I discovered that the entire series is available in the UK from a different publisher, Farrago, for £2.99 or less, mostly for £2.59. I may have to fill in some gaps!
