#MurderEveryMonday: Cover with a Poison On



 
Murder Every Monday was created by Kate @ Crossexamining Crime and @ArmchairSleuth. Put simply, the plan is for readers to take a photo of a crime fiction book (novel or short story collection) which meets a given week’s theme criteria and to then share it online, using the hashtag #MurderEveryMonday.

This week's theme is:

Cover with a poison on

Here's a random selection of covers with poison on, either in the image or in the title.


















Have your read any of them? Which cover(s) do you like most?

If you want to participate, here's the list of the weekly theme.

  1. You have some great choices there. The Poisoned Chocolates Case is one of my favourites by Berkeley.

  2. I've read both the Christies and the Patricia Wentworth, but I like the last two covers the best.

    1. Me too! The Georgette Heyer's seems very intriguing - the way the woman sees you in the eye while drinking from the glass, her mask is undone. It intrigued me at once.. LOL!

    1. I've been wondering which Anthony Berkeley should I read first. Now I've made my mind: The Poisoned Chocolates Case it will be! :D
