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. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Book Description
Handsome Cambridge dropout Mark Callender died hanging by the neck with a faint trace of lipstick on his mouth. When the official verdict is suicide, his wealthy father hires fledgling private investigator Cordelia Gray to find out what led him to self-destruction. What she discovers instead is a twisting trail of secrets and sins, and the strong scent of murder.
An Unsuitable Job for a Woman introduces P. D. James's courageous but vulnerable young detective, Cordelia Gray, in a "top-rated puzzle of peril that holds you all the way" (The New York Times).
