Y’know, I like the idea and God knows, there’a a legit reading demographic for it, but as Nathan said, MAKEITSTOP! BUSY BUSY BUSY BUSY BUSY! Granny, man, put your glasses back on and LOOK at what that cover is doing!
(And yes, amongst all my other reading delights, I’m a reader for this sort of demographic, pseudo-Miss-Jane-Marple but probably more active. I would never pick up this book. That cover would…well, let’s just say it would act as an anti-attractor!)
I feel like there’s a negative correlation between people who like Miss Marple-esque stories and those willing to put up with THAT on the cover a book that they’re reading.
Congrats, Nathan – you’ve been sabotaged…this cover has done its job.
The Grannies messing with the dispatchers again- sending the fire trucks away from the explosions. Bad Grannies.

Yes, I agree. It’s just too-too for those of us that like to relax with a Marple, Poirot, even LPW. Hell, even Harriet Vane would object to that one!
