Title: So Lush, So Deadly
Author: Brett Halliday
Cover artist: photo
Best things about this cover:
- Talk about your $20 photo shoots, dear lord.
- Possibly the least manly cover I own. A slap fight? Girl's got a gun aimed at your head and you're gonna swat at her like she's a fly? I'm guessing that one second after this picture was taking, the girl with the gun just shook her head, said "pathetic," and walked away.
- Interesting how the fabric around their midsections appears blurred with motion. I'm just so so so glad the yellow towel didn't move any further.
Best things about this back cover:
- Dotty De Rham! Why am I not collecting these names!?
- I'm not sure I understand where the "Carnival" metaphor is coming from.
- Arson is a cardinal sin?
- The coolest private eye swings into hot action! Oh, Mike Shayne, you're the paradoxiest!
