Loading... Mrs. Pollifax and the Lion Killer (1995)by Dorothy Gilman
None. It was okay. I think Kadi should have had a chance to play detective. She's just a sweet victim. Sammat should have been a more developed character. An African King in his early 20's who went to Yale has potential. (  ) BONNIEJUNE | Apr 30, 2012 |  Kadi, whom Mrs. Pollifax rescued in the previous book, goes to the African country of Ubangiba where her friend Sammat is to be crowned king, but someone is killing people with a lion, which this country doesn't have and Emily comes to the rescue again. nolak | May 21, 2009 | This was a departure for Ms. Gilman in that she wrote an actual sequel to the previous novel (in the sense of continuing the story of #11). It made for a more complex storyline. It is also continuing the idea of the last novel of Mrs. P. where she has an adventure not tied to the CIA. In this one, there is no connection at all (unlike the last one where there was a superficial tie). I like the change of pace and Kadi is a another nice addition to the cast of recurring characters.
