I still haven't bought/read Best Served Cold and the cover is actually one of the reasons why. Need to order it from the UK when I get a chance. A shame that this is a MMPB cover, can't stand that pesky format. Also, this cover definitely scores a point against the art for the UK MMPB of The Blade Itself. As for the cover and the potential for misleading, I just don't see it. How many people buy a book without reading the synopsis on the back/front flap?

A new crime thriller series? For me the cover is totally misleading. It may be arouse the interest non-Fantasy readers. But as soon as they will detect the content.... I definitely don't like this cover. What’s that??? A new crime thriller series? For me the cover is totally misleading. It may be arouse the interest non-Fantasy readers.
