Similar Covers: Women in Black (Part 4)

I just came across A Little Stranger by Kate Pullinger yesterday and thought the cover looked familiar... Sure enough, it’s the same photo as on the cover of The Widow’s Season by Laura Brodie. A Little Stranger was published by Serpent’s Tail in the UK in 2007, while The Widow’s Season was published by Berkley Trade, an imprint of Penguin USA, in 2009.



I also recently found two more lookalikes for this duo (Limbo: A Memoir by A. Manette Ansay and A Good Woman by Lisa Appignanesi were featured in my “Headless Woman in a Black Dress” post last year): The Last of Summer by Kate O’Brien and Exotic Dancers by Gerald Lynch.

  6. Hi--I'm Laura Brodie, author of The Widow's Season, and it's so disappointing to see these duplicate covers! Here I thought that the art department at Berkley had come up with something original just to match the mood of my story...Sigh.

  7. You have a good eye for these... I never catch them.

    Loved The Widow's Season btw. I may have caught that cover if I saw the other book.

  8. I also had the first two noted! It's not often that I find exact lookalikes (I don't have your eye ;-) )but I discovered these after reading The Widow's Season (loved it!)

    And wow, those four books with the same cover? That's a bit much! If I looked quickly, I would think those were all by the same author.
