#booksky 💙📚 #bookstodon Making the Unhappy, Happy Again. My #bookreview for "Parker Pyne Investigates" by @AgathaChristie, on my #bookblog now. I picked this one for #ShortStorySeptember, and because Christie never disappoints! #BeatTheBacklist #CloakDaggerChal #ccwhatimreading #TheClassicsClub

Mrs. Packington felt alone, helpless and utterly forlorn. But her life changed when she stumbled upon an advertisement in the Times that read: "Are you happy?
