Maggie Smith: I’m a member of a Library mystery detective fiction book club here in Santa Barbara. We read Catherine Riggs’s first book (What She Gave Away) and by lucky chance she was out and about promoting her second book, “What She Never Said”. She came to our humble meeting and had a conversation with us, the best author conversation I’ve ever been to. But . . . we talked at length about the cover. None of us “got it” and we all commented on how it didn’t give the slightest clue as to what the book was about. So Catherine says, her cover was COMPLETELY different than her own choice (something with a tree and a bird, as I remember) but that the publisher chose the one that’s out there., for psychological reasons having to do with the color and the slight cracks in the photo. . .some reasons that were way off the wall. So, I write this to tell you, you are not alone in your wonderment about the book cover. The author herself was a bit befuddled. Ha!
