The cover seems familiar but the nearest I can pin it down to are The Killing Jar by Nicola Monaghan and Weaving Shadows by Margaret Murphy.

Karen, I really like these posts of yours :)
ReplyDeleteI prefer the ones where the butterflies have a chance of escaping, though. No need to hold innocent butterflies hostage just because you want to write a crime novel, is there?
Karen,
ReplyDeleteI had exactly the same feeling when I saw it but I thought of Helpless by Barbara Gowdy. The cover for the Hardcover version is very similar.

Karen, I posted about
ReplyDeletesimilar "butterfly in a jar" covers and then came across your post and realized that between the two of us, we've found an exact match (for the Laura Lippman cover). I hope you don't mind that I added it to my post (and linked to you, obviously). I'm also fascinated by this phenomenon of reusing the same images on multiple books (or very similar images).
Yours are great "copy cat" covers!
ReplyDeleteI spotted this one yesterday coincidentally, another jar one, but I've not added it (yet): Picoult's 19 Minutes.
Thanks, Karen. It's amazing how many covers use this similar image, for very different books, too!
