It's definitely my top pick. <br /><br />The simple, elegant profile of Nancy is iconic - a 21st Century interpretation of the classic silhouette. Love the nods to her Russell H Tandy roots with the hat and scarf, while her dress looks <br /><br />Nancy's focus and alertness is apparent from her posture. Having the feminine swirls of her scarf (literally) grounded by the earth tones capture Nancy's personality too. The gears and truck add suspense too. <br /><br />All four covers are beautiful: The claustrophobic danger of Staircase with the luscious deep teals (teal and red always look great together). Great to see the roadster on The Bungalow Mystery. It's so deco - like a vintage car advertisement or a promotion for road travel, and I adore the contrasting spine, and the way Nancy's peach scarf looks against the green. The rich colours on Lilac Inn are delicious. It has an interesting manga feel to it. <br /><br />Here's hoping the next volumes are with us soon…<br /><br />DaveDave UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663974411930730496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21648932.post-40510806062392887142014-05-24T17:29:57.341-07:002014-05-24T17:29:57.341-07:00I like all of them, but I think my favorite would ...I like all of them, but I think my favorite would be the cover for The Bungalow Mystery. Green is one of my favorite colors, plus the way the road spirals off makes me think of Nancy endlessly driving. And The Bungalow Mystery certainly had a lot of driving! Plus the way the cobblestones turn into money is fun to look at. It really has a lot of symbolism on the cover!Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12166982301282127342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21648932.post-58955161148332170212014-05-22T09:00:25.248-07:002014-05-22T09:00:25.248-07:00The Hidden Staircase (it's SO incredibly hard ...

My eye favors "Old Clock", it has a more flat art-deco look that the others, and I absolutely love the gears. It almost feels as if it sums up Nancy's race to find the clock before time goes out. IMagine all those gears moving, signifying the urgency of her quest and I find it interesting that her scarf is also the road--- as if the farther the moving truck goes the tighter the proverbial noose gets on Nancy.after all its her first case, it could have been her last. The others seem less inspired, staircase being the coiling stairs, and I'm not sure I understand the symbolism on "Lylic Inn". I do like the clever use of " money trail" in bungalow, but otherwise none of the others strike me as "clock" does.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18324709540277478725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21648932.post-41383269035322228042014-05-15T16:37:17.343-07:002014-05-15T16:37:17.343-07:00Hidden Staircase, by far, is my favorite.

I like it because Nancy looks so classy in her blue dress and cloche hat. I know she is dressed very similar on all four cover but something about the light blue and brown just makes this cover stand out to me. I love all four covers though and the new art makes me want to collect these as well as the older ones.~Jennifer PrinceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092674220176660271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21648932.post-68447943894784753322014-05-15T05:35:52.005-07:002014-05-15T05:35:52.005-07:00Mystery at Lilac Inn.
