#MurderEveryMonday: Cover with Painting Equipment




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 an artist/painting equipment on

I've found four books from three queens from Golden Age era which have paintings on the covers. I've only read one, though, Five Little Pigs, which was fantastic. Here's my review .











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. The Queens of Crime certainly leaned into the artistic theme!

    1. ...and let's see whose painter would be the most likeable! ;)

  2. I've read Artists in Crime--it's a pretty good Ngaio Marsh. That cover is way more stylish than mine, though mine also has paintings on it.

    There's got to be a cover of Dorothy Sayers' Five Red Herrings with a painting on it--the suspects are all painters if I remember rightly. But I didn't go look for one.

    Fun choices!

    1. Oh, I've certainly missed the Dorothy Sayers, but that sounds very interesting, with all painters suspect. Must check that out, thanks for the tip!
