Regret by Dan Dawkins
What's the genre? What's the logline? What is it you like or don't like about this cover? Does it make you want to know more about the book? Does it make you want to BUY the book? Discuss.
The book looks like a murder mystery. I like the blood on the keys.
The tag under the keys does not work in thumbnail scale. It’s almost impossible to read with the smaller size. The Tag under the authors name is also harder to read. The text either needs to be bigger or made to stand out more.
Mystery. Maybe in a corporate setting; at least, that's what I'm getting from the keyboard keys.
I like the cover. And I like the idea of including a prior work's title under the author's name. I'll also agree with the prior posters that the tag lines need to be more legible.

Also, is the size correct? It seems too square.
The legibility of the tag line does need work. I agree with Eric on that, but otherwise I like the cover.
