You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover #241

- 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
Lucy Foley's forthcoming thriller, The Hunting Party is
generating lots of buzz. The US cover is on the left and the UK cover is on the right. The first that strikes me is the muted look of the US cover vs. the bright yellow of the UK cover. Both employ the same tag line. The image on the US cover brings to mind English hunts, foxes, hounds and horses. The UK image does convey a hunt, but seems much more ominous. Both are intriguing covers and the book is definitley on my TBR list. But, I'm going to go with the US cover this week - I'm a sucker for the isolated manor, trapped by bad weather and a group that includes a murderer premise. What about you? Any plans to read The Hunting Party? Which cover do you prefer?
You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature at A Bookworm's World.

  1. I think the UK cover is a little too obvious so I prefer the US cover too.

    The UK cover draws me in, enough that I would pick it up and read the blurb.

  3. The US cover is very cool, and makes me want to read it.
    I wouldn't choose this if I saw the UK cover only.

  5. Apologies - late again!
    Love the snowy estate cover.....US wins it for me. Like you, I just love mysteries that involve beautiful old estates, a big storm & everyone trapped. It’s definitely my kind of mystery!
