Christine, here's more of an answer to your question about Mrs. Pollifax. She's a character in a number of hilarious mysteries by Dorothy Gilman. (As I recall, her umbrella proves a formidable weapon at times!)

Several have also been turned into films. (I think Rosalind Russell was in one of them.)

I've listed below the titles of the Mrs. Pollifax novels as well as others.

Mrs. Pollifax, grandmother & CIA agent in New Jersey, is featured in:

The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax (1966)
