Honestly, just listening to the audiobooks read by Barbara Rosenblat is an absolute treat. She is Mrs. Pollifax. I'd recommend going in order just to hear her performance evolve alongside the character. It's some of the best narration in the cozy mystery genre.

The beauty of Mrs. Pollifax is that each book is a perfect little self-contained world. But Emily is our guide, and we see those worlds through her eyes, which become more experienced and wise with each adventure. To see that change in her perspective, order helps.

I disagree with the 'any order' folks. The first book isn't just an origin story; it establishes why the CIA would ever use her again. It's the most plausible of the scenarios, in a charmingly implausible series. If you start later, you might find the whole premise too silly because you missed that grounding first step. The series earns its whimsy by starting relatively straight.

Some series have prequels that mess things up. Thankfully, not here. Linear progression from 1966 to 2000. Embrace the simplicity.

I'm gonna be the dissenting voice and say maybe skip the very last one, 'Mrs. Pollifax Unveiled', on your first read. It was published posthumously, and some fans (including me) feel it's not quite up to par. End your journey on the high note of 'Mrs. Pollifax Pursued' instead. You can always circle back to 'Unveiled' later.

How do the Mrs Pollifax books progress in chronological order?

A friend recommended I start with 'The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax' by mistake, thinking it was the first. I enjoyed it, but when I later went back to 'The Unexpected', I realized I'd robbed myself of the 'aha' moment of her very first mission. The sheer audacity of her applying to the CIA is funnier and more poignant when you don't already know she'll succeed. So, learn from my error! The origin story is key. After that, the progression feels natural, each book a new postcard from an unlikely adventure. The order is part of the gentle, comforting rhythm of the series.
