dimity_blueToday, I'm tagging corvidology to do the challenge.
For 10 days, post the cover of a book you like and challenge someone else to join in.
My 5th book is Parker Pyne Investigates by Agatha Christie.
Parker Pyne worked in statistics and now he works as a consultant specialising in human happiness.
(If only it was that easy in real life.) But Mr. PP is remarkably successful. In this series of short stories, he provides happy endings to a number of different people: a retired and bored soldier; a neglected wife; a wealthy widow... The list goes on.
The stories are believable (though very unlikely) and it's a surprisingly feel good book.
