Ah ha! Found them. Here are the two covers that Liz Carlyle’s The Devil You Know reminded me of:
Sometime early last month, Fog City Diva and author of In the Thrill of The Night (which is on my ‘To Buy’ list), Candice Hern pondered over historical cover designs and illustrated the evolution of cover designs […]

A detour to the bookshop on my way home last Wednesday evening saw me adding a few more to my ever growing TBR pile.
