It´s no secret how much I appreciate a good, suggestive cover and often, my library and bookstore choices are inspired first by the cover, and second by the blurb and eventual recommendations. A book whose cover is carefully designed sends always a good message to the reader.
Today, I have the pleasure to be part of an exquisite cover reveal of a crime and mystery thriller, The Puppet Maker by Irish author Jenny O´Brien. Dublin-born author, she is a Guernsey-based writer. The book that is expected to be published mid-October, is special for more than one reason: it features wheelchair bounded detective Alana whose mission is to find out what happened with the mother of a two-year old girl that suddenly appeared in the precincts of the police station, with a crumpled piece of paper where the mother warns to not be searched after.
The cover features a wheelchair women, back on us, meditatively looking to an opening horizon. The lettering of the title and the text do match in a very dramatic, thrilling way, revealing hopes, fears and expectations.
Both the short description of the book and the cover look entincing enough to include the book on my TBR for the end of the year. I bet it´s really worth it.
Special note to Rachel´s Random Resources for the opportunity of being part of this online event. The opinions are, as usual, my own.
