The Murderer's Tale by Margaret Frazer
What's the genre? 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.
While this might be good cover for a printed book there is just way too much text on this cover to work as a thumbnail. I would suggest to lose the quotes and put them below in the blub and then increase the size of the rest so that they could be read.
I agree. I love the image but not much else. It's way too busy. I would expand the image to fit the whole cover, then simply have the title, subtitle, and author's name. All the other text should be in the description, not on the cover.
