This just MIGHT be a good book–I mean she got an endorsement that has potential validity–but this cover is woeful!

The image, the font and the endorsement…”creepy must read mystery for animal lovers” makes me think this is “Kujo” meets “The Fire Starter”

“Which is worse, the over-the-top title font or mismatched concatenation of photos? Answer: Both of them!”
IMHO, the worst is the wretched blurb in the upper right corner: “…a creepy must read mystery for animal lovers.”
BARF!

Judging by the cover this looks like a story about saving your pets from a fire.

It could work by getting rid of the cat and dog, and leaving the woman on the cover.
Next, definitely find a different font. That suggests horror to me more than mystery (but maybe it’s a horror mystery?). Still, don’t care for it. Read The Book Designer’s website to get an idea on different fonts that would work on a cover.
And that blurb? Most likely it’ll be lost at thumbnail size, so most people wouldn’t even see it.

I thought the woman was snuggling her cat and smiling. Nothing about this cover says creepy or mystery to me. Maybe adventure of some kind, because there’s fire.

Behind a cat isn’t a great place to hide.

“Sure, go ahead hide! I’ll be the seeker.”

If she wants to be any good at hide and seek she needs a bigger cat.
What about the mismatched concatenation of fonts?
Riddle me this, “Why can I see through the cat?” And the woman behind the cat?
