The Blonde Goes to France

BERJAYAHere's the cover of the French edition of The Blonde, just out from Rivages/Noir. As usual, I'd love to hear what you guys think of the cover.

Me? I'm loving it. Shots of booze, most likely scotch or whiskey. Stark, elegant design. Moody, too. They even made my long-ass name look somewhat cool. What's not to love about this? So, strangely enough, there are two books out in France right now with my name on them, the other being the French edition of Level 26 (my collaboration with Anthony Zuiker) -- which is already a bestseller over there. I think this means I need to take the Bride to Paris, pronto. Right? (Thanks to Frédéric Fontès for the tip.)

Awesome. I like it. Conveys the initial mood of the book very nicely.

Great looking cover.

This cover is certainly different, I kind of like the stark lettering, and the image is something that would make me pick up the book. Which is interesting because if I saw this book in general fiction I might not, but in the crime fiction section it would certainly work.

Nice jacket! And you're in good hands. Rivages/Noir are great publishers. (although I am, admittedly, biased) In the large bookstores in France, like FNAC, they have special Rivages Noir sections.
