August 2017 group read: An Unsuitable Job for a Woman, by P.D. James



It was my first PD James (I thought it was about time!) and I certainly intend to read the other book in the series and of course Adam Dalgleish.
I know I enjoyed this when I listened but I don't retain books in my head well if I listen to the audio so will be listening again so I can take part in the discussion.

Cool, Gisela!

It was my first PD James..."
We'll look forward to your comments!

I certainly hope so! I'm putting my other books aside for the moment so I can get going on this one.

Of course there's time! We have the month of August. I saw your comment on Black Water Lilies just now, so I'll assume you found it.

amazon -- it's a bit pricey, but hey - my birthday's coming up soon and I also have tons of Amazon gift certificates so I won't feel badly.

Let me welcome you all to the discussion of An Unsuitable Job for a Woman, by PD James, which officially begins today. I finished the novel over the weekend, and I'm sure it will merit some good talking points.
I have this thing about revealing specific parts of the book that help to unravel the crime, so please, if you wouldn't mind, don't blurt but use spoiler brackets. If you don't know how it works, feel free to ask -- someone will be more than happy to help.
I'll look forward to seeing what you all think about this novel !

Not sure if you still want to watch the DVD's or not..
I did, and I read all the bad things people had to say, but I don't care. I want to watch them anyway. But thanks!!
