"It isn't what you suspect, it's what you can prove that counts."

Cordelia Gray became the sole owner of a private detective agency when her partner died. The father of Mark Callender hired her to investigate the reasons behind his son's suicide three weeks after he dropped his course at Cambridge. As Cordelia investigates, she questions whether it was suicide or murder. There are lots of family secrets, important parent-child relationships, and some interesting wealthy Cambridge friends of Mark in the story.

The book is both set and published in the early 1970s when it was unusual for a woman to be a private investigator. The title, "An Unsuitable Job for a Woman," is contrary to Cordelia's success. But the memories of male mentors and their advice are always in the background.

Ethics plays a role in Mark's life, as well as how Cordelia handles her discoveries. Cordelia wants to be sure that true justice is served for Mark's sake in an unusual ending.
