ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE finds our dear Inspector in France so there’s no better place to kick off our “Gamache Goes Abroad” cover musings than en français!
And, wow, the current U.S. cover treatment of Still Life couldn’t be any different from how our French colleagues handled the look of the book. While we opted for a subtle nod to the title — the art genre that dates back to the Egyptians — the French took a more severe route, depicting a key plot point (no spoilers, please!). It’s noteworthy that both covers feature framed imagery which could symbolize a window, or, entryway, into the series.
What do you think?
Which cover do you gravitate towards?

Definitely American version
The French version.
Am partial to the North American version though I do like the French also. Thank you for this new endeavor.
In this instance, the American cover grabs me.
I find myself drawn to the French version, maybe because it plays a part in the book!
I like the US version. The colors attract me more. And it’s a bit impressionistic.
I agree. The color seems harsh and a little overpowering.
American version
I like your original version. It seems to make me srudy it closer.
Study not srudy
Another vote for the US version!
I like the US version.
