You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover #299

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

US cover
UK cover
No Bad Deed is Heather Chavez's debut novel. What caught my eye was the blurb from Lee Child on both covers. And this descriptor has landed it on my ever teetering TBR pile."A gripping new thriller that fans of Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay will read in one sitting". The US cover is on the left and the UK cover is on the right. Both covers are a bit lurid IMO. The US cover features ominous colors, dark stormy night and tag line.The rain is also present on the UK cover, complete with the ever popular woman's face in the rear view mirror. View of car outside vs. view from in car. Easy choice for me this week - US. What about you? Which cover do you prefer? Any plans to read No Bad Deed?
You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature at A Bookworm's World.

I prefer the US cover as well. Will I read it? Perhaps. We shall see at this point. ;-)

I think I prefer the UK cover.

I kind of prefer the UK cover except for of course the woman in the mirror thing. I received an ARC of No Bad Deed with the US cover and couldn't think of it as anything except "the orange book." Too much color. As for the blurbs, it is a fast paced debut novel but there are a lot of gaps and it should not be compared to Linwood Barclay or Harlan Coben.

Really dislike the US cover. Love the windshield with raindrops on the UK cover ......although not a fan of the woman’s face in the rear view mirror-minor quibble-UK wins!

Well, Kay and I are in the minority with the US cover, so a win for the UK cover this week. Ah, Grammacootie, I might move it down the pile after all.....
