Design me a cover - must be mostly blue and have a tree on it...

M (Mick) Herron's third Zoe Boehm offering came out on 24 August 2006 from Constable & Robinson.
Lesley Horton's book, which I've mentioned recently, came out on 1 Dec from Orion.

Is it just me or is there a certain similarity to the covers?

Synopsis from amazon.co.uk of 'Why We Die':"When Tim Whitby checks into a hotel, he's not intending to check out again - but then he meets Katrina Blake, a woman in need of rescue. When Arkle, Baxter and Trent inherit the family business, they're not planning on making a go of it - there are quicker ways of getting rich, if you're not squeamish about the violence involved. And when Zoe Boehm agrees to track down the masked men who robbed Harold Sweeney's jewellery shop, she's hoping to pay off the taxes she's avoided. She's not expecting to wind up in a coffin. But Arkle has a crossbow; Tim has a life that's run out of purpose, and even battered Katrina has her secrets. And death, like taxes, can't be avoided forever."

I like them! I think I'm a sucker for that shade of blue, plus I like the moodiness.

Did you get my email, BTW?

I seem to like too many covers these days. How am I going to read them all??
