In my 89th installment of ‘Cover Love‘, I thought I’d do a post about car mirrors on book covers. An odd choice you’re probably thinking – Yet… there are more than I expected. And once again, they are mostly in the thriller genre.
They say you can never have a second chance to make a good first impression. A book’s cover does just that – gives a first impression. A good cover can make a reader pick up a book. A bad cover can leave the book at the very bottom of a dusty pile.
The covers of novels entice the reader to enter a different world. Covers are, after all, the way the publisher ‘hooks‘ the reader into choosing one book over countless others.
These titles encompass a wide variety of genres with the majority in the suspense/thriller genre. Enjoy!
Are you tempted by any of these covers?
Have you read one of these titles and absolutely LOVED it?
Please let me know in the comments.
And don’t forget to check out any of the other previous 88 installments of Cover Love, many of which have been updated since they were first published.

As soon as I read the title of this post, I thought of Dog On It. I love that series. I can’t say whether that, or Bruno Chief of Police, is my favourite series. Depends on what I’m reading at the time, I guess. 😉 Thanks for including Chet & Bernie.

I am not surprised that most of these are thrillers/suspense. The idea of looking back or someone watching is the message I get from these covers. I read a couple of them but before I started writing reviews. I know I liked the Andrew Gross one. Another interesting choice for Cover Love Lynne. I love it.

I had no idea there were so many covers with car mirrors! I read the Paula Daly but it had another cover. I read and loved Never Look Back and that’s the also the only book I knew had a car mirror on its cover 😊

When I notice a trend, I begin a folder on my computer. I add titles that fit the criteria from my Goodreads lists, NetGalley, Edelweiss, and Pinterest. It usually takes a year or so before I have enough to include in a post.
I appreciate your interest. Thanks. 📚😍
