More intense than previous books. Not as cozy, which I have mixed feelings about ( )

Apparently I only read books when they're almost due now. :) This was quite similar to the others. Good fun, fresh (but only because I haven't read one in months), and missing a couple of plugged holes. But it was very diverting. ( )

To much psychic talk for a full group of stars. But fun to see Robin again ( )

The publisher's blurb is a good hook for those of us who are addicted to enjoying Mrs Pollifax's adventures as a CIA courier. She is sent to inquire after an agent in Hong Kong, and also hopes to connect with a young Chinese man she met in China. She finds the agent and sort of finds her young man, but also finds an old friend now working for Interpol as well as a man who is psychic and is working for one of his college students whose father is a missing police detective. Then things get messy!

Voice actor Barbara Rosenblatt always does a wonderful job with all the voices and really acts out the story and not just read it. Her voice brings the characters to life with her inflections entirely suited the situations and characters. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
It was raining - a driving spring rain that slashed at the windows - and Mrs. Pollifax hoped that it was not raining in the wilds of Vermont, where Cyrus had gone for a ten-day bird-watching expedition that would find him crouching for hours in the shrubbery or ensconced in a tree with field glasses.

Book description
SOMETHING DANGEROUS IS IN THE HONG KONG AIR

Faster than she can say her name, the newly married Mrs. Pollifax is packed and ready to go on another adventure - her most dangerous assignment yet. Lured away from renovating her idyllic country home by an urgent agent Bishop, she flies off to Hong Kong, where young agent Sheng Ti, whom she'd helped smuggle out of mainland China in a previous mission, holds the answers to what is going on at the sinister Feng Imports - a one-time agency front.

Naturally, only Mrs. Pollifax has earned Sheng's trust, and only she can possibly stop what turns out to be a frightening and ominous plot involving illicit drugs, smuggled diamonds,a famous cat burglar turned Interpol agent, a mysterious psychic, and, of course, murder - quite possibly her own ...
