From AudioFile

This radio drama offers listeners an opportunity to enjoy new material in the dramatized audio format. Originating from a BBC production, this popular mystery from P.D. James sounds almost like the sound track from a public television program--but there is nothing missing. Visual aspects of the scenes are amplified with sound effects. Each character is portrayed by an actor/actress who is credited on the packaging material. A range of accents and characterizations contributes to this complete performance. Though lovers of James's subtlety will miss a slow unfolding of the plot, the presentation has many dimensions. R.F.W.

Review

"P.D. James is unbeatable." -Ottawa Citizen

"P.D. James is an addictive writer, [with] a quality of intelligence, a genuine curiosity about character, and an ability to describe the density of little known lives." -Anita Brookner

"One of the most compulsive and acutely observed thrillers of the year--a why-dunnit, rather than a who-dunnit; a study of the complex motives that make up the cold mind of a killer."  -Daily Express

"James is assuredly the most gifted crime novelist writing in English today."-The Toronto Star

4.0étoiles sur 5 I'm re-reading P.D. James, and loving it!, Mai 31 2002
Par "justplainnancy" (Minnetonka, MN United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I've been re-reading P.D. James this summer, more or less in sequence, a project that I highly recommend. "An Unsuitable Job for a Woman" is number five, and the first of two to feature a protaganist other than Adam Dalgleish. Instead, we're introduced to private detective Cordilia Grey, a plucky and determined young heroine, in her first solo case. The story is impecably plotted, told with a sure hand, not without its humor, psychologically credible -- a pleasure to read.

There are certain themes (e.g., the inability to love) and preoccupations (e.g., an interest in architecture) that recur throughout the P.D. James series, as is apparent when you read a bunch of them over a short period of time. Though her later novels are longer and more elaborate, I also admire the more straightforward, meticulously crafted early works. Rereading the series is a great summer project!

5.0étoiles sur 5 The best ever written of P.D. James, Avril 2 2002
Par Nancy J. Griffin "rand219" (Ridgefield, CT United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This book is now currently one of favorite. It introduces the best character I personally think the author created (though unfortunatly she has only written two books with her the rest except one with Commander Adam Dalgalsh I think this might be because of the T.V. show getting her pregent).

5.0étoiles sur 5 My first P. D. James book, Mars 11 2002
Par Frank J. Konopka (Shamokin, PA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I've come somewhat late to reading P.D. James, since she's been writing mysteries for about 25 years now, and I've been reading books for almost twice that amount of time. She's my father-in-law's favorite author, so I finally decided to read one of her books, and I'm very pleased that I selected this one, because it is excellent! Even though it may have been her first published book, the quality of writing is first class, and the mystery and suspense are just right! At times it was easy to discern where the author was going, but there was always some unexpected twist or turn of the plot that kept you on your toes, and reading until much later in the night than you had originally planned. Now that I've finished this book, I intend to read more of this remarkable author's works, and I expect to enjoy them as much as I have this one.
