- You can't judge a book by its cover - which is very true.
But you can like one cover version better than another....

| UK cover |
Yes, I am a sucker for comparisons to The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and the phrase 'psychological thriller.' All of those apply to J.P. Delaney's forthcoming novel The Girl Before. And....film rights have acquired by Universal with Ron Howard to direct - before it's even published! So, the
US cover is on the left and the
UK cover is on the right. Both covers capture the essence of the book - a house and it's current and previous residents. A little more colour on the US cover but both have red fonts. But, I am going with the UK cover this week. I like the fadeout of the word before on the UK cover, the tagline would have me picking it up to look inside, as would the blurb from Lee Child. I don't really like the figure of the woman on the US cover.
So! Any plans to read The Girl Before? Which cover do you prefer?

Oh the tagline is good......... I also like the UK one, it is unique, thrillers sometimes start to look alike. I do like the US one but the prefer the UK which I hadn't seen before.
Have a great weekend.
Like the UK also, the red fading typeface really attracts on the shades of gray cover. But i've had it with authors using "girl" in the title - enough already!
