I did not find this book to be as "good" as the remainder of the series. Writing was fine, Dorothy Gilman did her usual good job on it; I just don't think the plotting was up to her usual standards. Mrs. Polifax's husband Cyrus has more of a part in this book than he usually does, but it's almost as if he was a lost piece of luggage than a character in his own right. And Mrs. Polifax's "partner" in the adventure isn't a very likeable character, plus the reader does not get much of a sense of the surroundings. Granted, most of the time is spent hiking through the jungle, but it's almost as if the action is taking place against a painted backdrop labeled "jungle." That being said, I do not regret my purchase of the book, and will add it to my library.

Anyone who likes a good mystery with a little humor thrown in will love this book. Mrs. Pollifax books are a "can't put it down" product. Dorothy Gilman is an excellent author. I've read all her Pollifax series. This purchase was for my grandson's Mrs. Pollifax collection.
Great book series with a primary character I can identify with as a senior citizen. READ SERIES IN ORDER
