Mrs. Pollifax on the China Station

The blend of espionage and cozy mystery feels unique. I wonder what drew her to China as the setting — was it research, personal interest, or something else?

Her naivety makes her so endearing, but I kept wondering how realistic that is in a real espionage scenario. Would love to hear others' thoughts!

The setting adds a lot of flavor, but I’m curious whether the portrayal feels authentic or more fictionalized for the cozy mystery vibe.
