An Unsuitable Job for a Woman Audiobook

" Really enjoyed this,but thought I was in the Dalgleish series, which it isn't. "

" At first it was interesting to follow the main character, Cordelia, as she found clues and investigated the case of the apparent suicide of a well-known scientist's son. However,as the plot progresses, it became slightly predictable. The middle of the story was not the most interesting of them all, but there were several twists at the end that tied some of the knots well. The conclusion could have been slightly longer though. All in all, it was a good book. "

" I loved her descriptions of England in the 1970's. About 1/2 way through I figured out "who-dun-it" but there was still more to read and enjoy. "

" Cordelia Gray is a very different kind of protagonist from P.D. James' Adam Dalgliesh, and after having read a lot of Dalgliesh mysteries, I was surprised by the way this mystery played out. Much less structured, much more emotional, a lot about the interplay between the characters, just a very different approach. Still enjoyed it very much--P.D. James writes beautifully. "

" I'm a sucker for a decent detective story and this surely did not disappoint. I found the writing eloquent and captivating. I loved the character of Cordelia Gray. Clever and strong as any female detective must be when so many people are telling you such a job is unsuitable. "

" I love the Cordelia Grey series. "

" The first of James' two Cordelia Gray mysteries. Personally, I prefer the lady sleuth to the poet Dalgleish. Such a shame that she appears so infrequently in James' detective series. "

" A surprisingly modern feel for a novel written in the 70's. "

" setiap kejadian dituturkan dengan sangat perlahan, berhati-hati. Aku hampir tak menangkap kesan menegangkan dari reteran kejadiannya. Sayang sekali. Buku ini terbaca seperti catatan harian Sang Detektif, si Cordelia sendiri. "

" Intelligent murder mystery. Quality writing. Very real characters. "

" I'm not a super mystery fan but PD James is good. "

" Good old-fashioned mystery. Unputdownable. The only boring part was when she was thrown down a well... "

" P. D. James had me guessing for awhile this one. "

" Si ponen un mono a dar cabezazos contra un puto teclado saldra algo con mas dignidad que esta bazofia infumable de dialogos subnormales y giros de trama de preescolar. Literatura para absolutos retrasados. "

" As far as mysteries go, this one was pretty good. I didn't care for the characters all that much, but the mystery was intruiging, and I didn't see the ending coming. "

" A classic written by a master of the mystery form. "

" Saw more Dorothy L. Sayers in this than in any of the previous James books. Was looking for a mystery and saw this had Cambridge as a setting. My daughter leaves for there this week. Wanted to give her something fun to read for the journey. She's going on a course and has lots of mandatory reading. "

" A good story, but not one of James's best. "

" My first PD James and while there was a lot to criticise - for example surely when she climbed from the well she must be SUPERWOMAN so her cape would have got in the way. "

" Just a run-of-the-mill detective story. It was written for the YA audience, so it is easy to read, and a pleasant way to pass time--but nothing special. "

" Female private investigator takes place in England-only two in the series though "
