An Unsuitable Job For a Woman
By P.D. James

A P.D. James novel with only a very minor for Adam Dalgliesh? It sounded like fish without enough chips.
But private eye Cordelia Gray proves that her profession is more than suitable for a plucky young woman. Hired to investigate the reasons behind a student suicide she uncovers one murder, witnesses another and is herself nearly killed.
Mix in a coded message in a prayer book, friends of the deceased with something to hide plus an alcoholic family doctor and the result is a gripping story.
This book is stimulating and satisfying with no need to add salt and vinegar!
