Finally, a cover that doesn't look like porn. Too bad about the contents -- I think they cannot be salvaged.

But I can't help but wonder if the publishers are tightening the reins a little, wanting it to look more crimey and less like naked women's tinted body parts. Given LKH's deserved reputation, I wonder if they are trying to rope in a different audience than teenagers and embittered divorcees, or just maintain their dignity.

(Although I gotta say, I would HATE that cover on any normal book -- so grimy)

And I still giggle at the fact that her name is so much larger than A) the title and B) the name of the series the book is associated with.

I think that's one of my most favorite parts about her covers.

Because the troos will go "OMG LKH I WILL BY THIS W/ MY ALOWENCE," even if it's a manual for window-washing in Qatar.
