A Cozy Death Book Club: Meeting and Discussion Group

The club is for ladies who enjoy reading cozy mysteries, American, British, or translated international novels. Each meeting, on Zoom, we will discuss a cozy mystery, have tea, yummy tea sandwiches, and cakes to show off. We meet the 4th Sunday of each month, make new friends, have fun, play a game, and enjoy talking about cozy mysteries as well as disregarding any calories that come with afternoon tea cakes! Please follow us on www.acozydeath.com. Our blog publishes News from A Cozy Death Book Club on the 10th of each month.

We're reading The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gillman. Reviews of the book:
“Should delight you whether you’re looking for smiles or thrills.”—The New York Times Book Review

Mrs. Virgil (Emily) Pollifax of New Brunswick, New Jersey, was a widow with grown, married children. She was tired of attending her Garden Club meetings. She wanted to do something good for her country. So, naturally, she became a CIA agent.

She takes on a “job” in Mexico City. The assignment doesn’t sound dangerous at first, but then, as often happens, something goes wrong. Now our dear Mrs. Pollifax finds herself embroiled in quite a hot Cold War—and her country’s enemies find themselves entangled with one unbelievably feisty lady.

“Mrs. Pollifax gives Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple a rival to reckon with.”—Toronto Star

A couple of films have been made from the Mrs. Pollifax novels. One from 1971 had Rosalind Russell in it and then there's one from 1999 with Angela Lansbury--you should read the book and watch both movies if you can. They're absolutely delightful!

We'll be discussing the book and afterwards playing a game: Go Fish. Watch for the instructions and cards under Resources on www.acozydeath.com a week before the meeting.
