England, 1920. Eleanor Swift has spent the last few years travelling the world: taking tea in China, tasting alligators in Peru, escaping bandits in Persia and she has just arrived in England after a chaotic 45-day flight from South Africa. Chipstone is about the sleepiest town you could have the misfortune to meet. But then, from the edge of a quarry, through the driving rain, Eleanor is shocked to see a man shot and killed in the distance. Before she can climb down to the spot, the villain is gone and the body has vanished.

Resumen del Editor
The 14th in the Mrs. Pollifax series, Mrs. Pollifax Unveiled joins its predecessors as a delightful source of entertainment and suspense. After all her harrowing adventures in various parts of the world, America’s most endearing and unlikely CIA agent is bored with her gardening. When headquarters calls with a deadly mission, she’s ready with passport in hand.
After single-handedly thwarting hijackers on a flight to the Middle East, a young American woman has become an instant celebrity. Following television interviews at the airport in Damascus, she disappears. Was she kidnapped by the terrorists, or is she just hiding? Posing as the girl’s aunt, Mrs. P. searches for her "niece" and uncovers a sinister plot that could send shock waves around the world.
Part of the anticipation of hearing about Mrs. Pollifax’s latest adventures is knowing that narrator Barbara Rosenblat will be part of the package. Both popular in their own right, they make an irresistible team.

Scott Warden is a man haunted by the past-and soon to be haunted by the future. In early 21st-century Thailand, Scott is an expatriate slacker. Then, one day, he inadvertently witnesses an impossible event: the violent appearance of a 200-foot stone pillar in the forested interior. Its arrival collapses trees for a quarter mile around its base, freezing ice out of the air and emitting a burst of ionizing radiation. It appears to be composed of an exotic form of matter.

From that moment on, the shy young woman finds herself doing all kinds of things she never thought possible. Between newfound intimacies and a risky journey into the past, Amelia comes to see herself in a whole new light.

His name, they tell him, is William Monk, and he is a London police detective. But the accident that felled him has left him with only half a life; his memory and his entire past have vanished. As he tries to hide the truth, Monk returns to work and is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of a Crimean War hero and man about town. Which makes Monk’s efforts doubly difficult, since he’s forgotten his professional skills along with everything else.

Frances Wynn, the American-born Countess of Harleigh, enjoys more freedom as a widow than she did as a wife. After an obligatory year spent mourning her philandering husband, Reggie, she puts aside her drab black gowns, leaving the countryside and her money-grubbing in-laws behind. With her young daughter in tow, Frances rents a home in Belgravia and prepares to welcome her sister, Lily, arriving from New York - for her first London season.

The year is 1920: Flying in the face of convention, legendary American adventuress Beryl Helliwell never fails to surprise and shock. The last thing her adoring public would expect is that she craves some peace and quiet. The humdrum hamlet of Walmsley Parva in the English countryside seems just the ticket. And, honestly, until America comes to its senses and repeals Prohibition, Beryl has no intention of returning stateside and subjecting herself to bathtub gin.

The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

Mrs. Pllifax
Years ago I discovered Mrs. Pollifax. I couldn't get enough of her and proceeded to track
down and read with great delight the entire series. I continued to check the shelf in the
library where Dorothy Gilman was kept for a long time after hoping for a new book but
never finding one. When I found this one I was thrilled and very pleased to have enjoyed
it as much as I expected.

Finally!
I love the Pollifax series and owned all except this one. I started listening to it with a different narrator, and it was so bad I couldn't even finish. I sadly returned it. So when I finally found it with Barbara Rosenblatt, I was thrilled! Thank you, Audible!

Wonderful to the last word
I’m so sorry that this is the last book in the series. It’s saying goodbye to a good friend and adventurous spirit.

Love these books…but
I really enjoy these books, and I enjoy the narrator, but whoever is doing the producing/editing really should edit out her large breaths and awful mouth noises. When you’re listening with earbuds, it’s disturbing.

So good that you finally released this!
Boy, all these years I have only had the abridged version of this book by another reader and it was pretty awful. So great to hear this last book in its entirety. But that’s not all, it also has a wonderful interview with Dorothy, which is a great way to end the series. Thank you audible!

Great series
Gilman does it again. Love the series. May have to suspend belief at times; but, in all mysteries one has to.
