An Unsuitable Job for a Woman - Summary

In this gripping detective novel, we follow Cordelia Gray, a novice private investigator who takes on a case that will test both her resolve and detective skills. When Mark Callender, a promising Cambridge student, is found dead by hanging with mysterious traces of lipstick on his mouth, the official verdict points to suicide. However, his wealthy father's instincts tell him otherwise, leading him to hire Cordelia to investigate the circumstances surrounding his son's death. As she delves deeper into the case, Cordelia discovers a complex web of deception, hidden motives, and dark secrets that suggest this death may be far more sinister than initially thought.

Key Themes

  1. Gender Barriers in Professional Life A profound exploration of societal prejudices as Cordelia navigates the male-dominated world of private investigation. Her struggles against patronizing attitudes and skepticism about her capabilities highlight the broader challenges women faced in professional spheres during this era.
