Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. Emily Pollifax accompanies her young friend Kadi back to Africa, where a mutual friend is to be crowned king of his small country. But when several people are slashed by murderous lion claws and Kadi disappears, Mrs. Pollifax must begin a perilous investigation. Fortunately for all, staunch determination and polished karate skills are on her side. In response to a desperate SOS, Kadi Hopkirk flies to the African country of Ubangiba, where her childhood friend, Sammat, is soon to be crowned king. Mrs. Pollifax, reluctant to allow the girl to venture alone into what she fears may be grave danger, crashes the party. On arrival, Kadi and Mrs. P. soon discover that Sammat has dangerous enemies. Rumors are springing up that he is a sorcerer who is responsible for a rash of shocking murders in which the victims appear to have been clawed to death by a lion. These crimes are especially terrifying because there are no lions in Ubangiba. So Mrs. Pollifax wades into the fray, hunting for the source of the bloody terrorism that threatens Sammat and Ubangiba - not to mention Kadi and Mrs. Pollifax. . . .… (mer)

The CIA was completely MIA this time, and that was just fine by me. I am liking the character development and continuation from the previous book.

Poor old Cyrus, though. He keeps having to be set aside because of one thing or another. That's okay. Emily Pollifax is a full handful all on her own. (

Mrs. Polifax in Africa. Can you picture it? :-) (

This book is the sequel to Mrs. Pollifax Pursued, in which we meet Kadi Hopkirk, the daughter of Ubangiba missionaries. Kadi's college friend Sammy is now trying to rule Ubangiba after many years of dictatorship. Sammy calls upon Kadi for help and Mrs. Pollifax decides to accompany her to Africa. There have been a series of violent deaths where it appears the victims have been clawed to death by a rogue lion. But there are no lions in Ubangiba. Much of the population of Ubangiba still believe in witchcraft and there are rumors going around that Sammy is dabbling in sorcery.

Even though this is a fictional African country it's easy to identify the many elements that make it similar to real countries in Africa. Beneath the cozy exterior of this story are some quite serious issues. Mrs. Pollifax is always entertaining and her affection for Kadi and Sammy is quite apparent. If you enjoy the antics of Mrs. Pollifax you will really have a good time with this one. (

Mrs Pollifax makes a return visit to Ubangiba with Kadi Hopkirk in response to a call for help from Kadi's childhood friend--the soon the be crowned King. Rumors are saying that he is a sorcerer and responsible for people being clawed to death by a lion. Mrs Pollifax tries to discover the true killer and save the kingdom from turmoil.

By far my least favorite of the series. I dearly love Mrs Pollifax and always find Barbara Rosenblatt's narration a delight. However, I didn't connect with the story line and was almost anxious for the end. (
