You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover #97

- 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
US/Canadian cover
Elly Griffith's Ruth Galloway books are one of my favourite mystery series. The latest (8th) book is The Woman in Blue. The US/Canadian cover is on the left (releases May 3rd  and I am so looking forward to it!) and the UK cover is on the right. (already released) Two distinctive styles from each country.....this week I'm going with the US cover. It's atmospheric with the muted, misty colours and I love the somewhat ominous stone marker.  Lately I just don't like actual people on the covers - I like to hold onto my own mental image of recurring characters, so the UK cover is a miss for me. What about you? Which cover do you prefer? Have you read this series? You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature at A Bookworm's World.

  5. I prefer the UK cover. The US cover is a little too odd for me :-)
