As if publishers are selling a brand rather than a book.

I also think of murders as happening in alleyways, so pictures of cliffs make me think of holidays etc. The cliff ones look more like spy books, than crime fiction.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-18581130430441440282009-02-08T12:19:00.000+10:302009-02-08T12:19:00.000+10:30I too like the first one!BTW Kerrie, you got me ho...I too like the first one!<BR/><BR/>BTW Kerrie, you got me hooked to crime fiction as of now!<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://readingandmorereading.blogspot.com/2009/02/covered-in-weekly-geeks.html" REL="nofollow">Covered!</A>gautami tripathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192356825699543613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-7416202271870824852009-02-08T11:43:00.000+10:302009-02-08T11:43:00.000+10:30I like the first and the sixth.. the same cover bu...I like the first and the sixth.. the same cover but in different colour. :)clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397226316253896335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-79897775650032796182009-02-08T11:05:00.000+10:302009-02-08T11:05:00.000+10:30Interesting selection of covers.

I also think some artist work well with certain authors. Somehow Robinson had drop off my radar. I read "In a Dry Season" several years ago. Oh well, just more to add to my TBR list.Gavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12865699135545209220noreply@blogger.com
