I have to say I totally agree with you. A colored cover would not have done it justice the way the black and white minimalist cover does.briellejee wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 03:16 I think the black and white cover is fitting for the book. It highlights the mysteriousness and the simplicity and straightforwardness portraying McDowell's character. Vibrant colors may be eye-catching but black and white and minimalism also do that. It makes the book even more enigmatic, in my opinion.

Agreed, with a story like this it is best to provide an enigmatic package. The curious are more likely to let their curiosity get the better of them. In this case, they would not be disappointed.Jmteachmom wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 07:58 I think the cover portrait is very fitting for the character of McDowell. It made the book more intriguing to me. I wanted to find out about this mysterious character.

Honestly, any cover can attract a reader if it is well done and artistic. I definitely think this cover falls into this category.
