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

I've enjoyed
J.P. Delaney's previous psychological suspense novels. There's a new one - The Perfect Wife - coming in August 19 on both sides of the pond. The
US cover is on the left and the
UK cover is on the right. The stark, simple look of both covers matches the look of previous covers. And we've got a woman in white on both covers. I did like the insertion of the figure for the letter I on the US cover. And I like the blue tones and water images. At first glance I wasn't sure what the image on the UK cover was. (It's a very modern staircase.) The word perfect is off kilter - a nice touch. We also get a tagline. I think I"m going to go withe the US cover this week - it just appeals to me more. What about you? Which cover do you prefer? Any plans to read The Perfect Wife?

I like the US cover, too, because it took me a while to figure out the staircase on the UK cover.
I kind of like the abstract UK cover. It’s much more menacing as she’s looking down to the bottom of the stairs. The colour on the US cover is beautiful but the woman is on the phone......not really sinister at all ;-)
Hmm, so far US....
I think the UK cover is more visually interesting. The US cover looks like every other domestic thriller that's currently out.
And now a tie....
Love the blues on the US cover.
