Current Book ~ An Unsuitable Job for a Woman by P.D. James


Cover Wars


Spanish
Italian

There are about a half dozen other weird covers.
The first two here are my title/author pet peeve. When the authors name is in huge font and the title is tiny. I get it, author name recognition, but to me it seems like the author is really full of themselves. 

About the Author:  P.D. James (Phyllis Dorothy James White) was a Baroness and British mystery novelist.

Meet Cordelia Gray: twenty-two, tough, intelligent and now sole inheritor of the Pryde Detective Agency. Her first assignment finds her hired by Sir Ronald Callender to investigate the death of his son Mark, a young Cambridge student found hanged in mysterious circumstances. Required to delve into the hidden secrets of the Callender family, Cordelia soon realises it is not a case of suicide, and that the truth is entirely more sinister.

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.

The How/Why: A guy I follow on IG said this was his favorite mystery of all time. We have a lot of books/reviews in common so I so I looked it up. It was written in 1972. Republished in America in 2001 and again in 2012. 
3.82 rating on GR and most of the reviews are very old, like the 20teens. GR indicates that 691 people are currently reading but none of my connections so it feel like it's just me!
