Palm for Mrs. Pollifax Free Audiobook Download by Dorothy Gilman
I found a gem in the library and checked it out and started listening to it. It is interesting but not without flaws. I enjoyed how the author was able to subtly weave the plot with some of her famous characters from her other novels, but I did not enjoy how she would use them so much that my mind would drift off into another book or even another character just to keep up with what was happening.
