That's OK, thought you were going to threaten Gwynneth Paltrowy for a minute there!<br /><br />It is a great cover, and having perused both editions, I think they have got it right - ie I prefer the UK one (and I am in the UK target market, so correct answer!)<br /><br />I agree on Peter Turnbull, he is a highly underrated author, I loved his P (?) division books. And did they nick those for Taggart without crediting? (Like Ed McBain and Hill St Blues.) Or is that an incorrect memory of mine?Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-40223923607077379252009-09-10T09:05:10.550-07:002009-09-10T09:05:10.550-07:00That cover represents the genteel English scene pr...That cover represents the genteel English scene properly, when I have read the book, then I can comment on the gentility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-26543429979900046662009-09-10T05:49:40.382-07:002009-09-10T05:49:40.382-07:00Stop crying Donna.
