Book cover for "Dead on Cue" (The Tessa Crichton Mysteries, No. 20) by Anne Morice. The cover features a woman with short brown hair, wearing a red and orange vertically striped dress with a wide purple waist belt.

To her right is an open wooden bookcase filled with various books, and to her left is a wooden mantelpiece with a single blue candle.
Vintage book cover for "Dark Duet" (A 'Dark' Series Thriller) by Peter Cheyney. The illustration depicts a dramatic scene in a blue monochrome style. A man in a belted trench coat is engaged in a violent struggle with another man in a dark suit, holding a handgun aloft. Below them, a woman in a bright red dress lies motionless on the ground. The title and author's name are prominently displayed at the top in black text against a pale yellow rectangular background.
