Hey there, my name is Brea and I work for 99designs. We recently wrote an article on book cover design by genre and included tips for thriller/mystery covers.
Here are a few notes, though there are several more in the article if you need more ideas!
- A large number of mystery and thrillers use red as an accent color, probably because of its association with blood and heightened emotions. Red screams danger!
- Many mystery and thriller covers are high-contrast, meaning they use deep blacks and white whites (or bright colors) to heighten the tension.
- Font choices are predominantly angular serif fonts.

- Many mystery and thriller covers are high-contrast, meaning they use deep blacks and white whites (or bright colors) to heighten the tension.
- Font choices are predominantly angular serif fonts. The harsh edges of this type of typography again helps create a stark, edgy feeling in the design. When serifs or softer fonts are used, it’s usually done so for a particular purpose.

Here are some dark secrets of bollywood
- Aamir Khan allegedly has a love child with Bollywood writer Jessica Hines who he had met during the shoot of Vikram Bhatt's Ghulam. While Aamir has denied any possibility of a love child, Hines has been pretty vocal about it. She once said in an interview that when their son grows up, she would tell him that his father didn't like them! Though it makes us wonder if anyone can make such tall claims without an ounce of truth in it!
- Shilpa Shetty was blatantly charged by Raj Kundra's ex wife for breaking her home. The ex-Mrs Kundra alleged that he was so beso

Though it makes us wonder if anyone can make such tall claims without an ounce of truth in it!
- Shilpa Shetty was blatantly charged by Raj Kundra's ex wife for breaking her home. The ex-Mrs Kundra alleged that he was so besotted with Shilpa that their reconciliation became impossible. Shilpa, however denied being a home-breaker and said that Raj was already divorced when she started dating him. We leave the rest for you to figure out what must've actually happened.
- Kangana Ranaut was not always hailed as the 'Queen' in Bollywood. She had an extra marital affair with Bollywood actor, Aditya Pancholi. He in fact used to even hit her on occassions, but Kangana stuck around with him as she wanted to work it out in Bollywood.
- Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was the first choice for Chalte Chalte instead of Rani? But SRK threw her out of the movie because of Salman Khan. Yes. Salman Khan would drive down to the film set everyday and would create a havoc. That is when SRK decided to fire Aishwarya and take in Rani instead.
- Ranveer Singh
Talk about anything outrageous or weird, and Ranveer Singh always manages to stay on the top of the list. Did you know, Ranveer lost his virginity at the age of 12?
He also revealed that he was quite a sex maniac before he turned 26! That's not all, Ranveer has also famously revealed that he carries a condom around in his wallet. He revealed that he experienced the casting couch when a producer asked him if he could see 'it' and touch 'it'.
He also confessed that one of the best birthday gift he could ever get is 'birthday sex'.
- Shahid Kapoor
Blame the Koffee couch, once again. Another victim of Koffee With Karan, Shahid Kapoor apparently revealed on the show that he would give up acting for sex! We wonder if Mira Rajput is happy or surprised by this fact?
- Ranbir Kapoor
In one of his no-holds-barred chitchat with a popular magazine, Ranbir said, "I must have been around 15 years old when I lost my virginity". Wow, we must say the guy started very young.
It was also rumoured that Deepika and Ranbir broke-up because the latter cheated on her. Ranbir confessed saying: "Yes, I have, out of immaturity, out of inexperience, out of taking advantage of certain temptations, out of callousness. You realise it now, when you grow up and you value relationships more."
- Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor has always landed up in controversies, owing to her motor mouth and bizarre statements. During a recent podcast interview with Neha Dhupia, Sonam opened up about how she hates her brother, Harshvardhan Kapoor's taste in women. She didn't stop there. The listeners got a treat when the host read a message from Sonam's phone, sent to Harsh:
"She's sweet, but tacky; Not bad, but you can do better; We hope you're using protection; Why do you have such bad taste in women?"
Sonam didn't reveal a thing about her sex life, but she made things worse for her lil' brother Harshvardhan.?
- Arjun Kapoor
Another big sex revelation made on Koffee With Karan was by Arjun Kapoor. He confessed on the show that he wouldn't give up anything for sex! Including food! He even said that "sex is more important than love". It seems, Arjun certainly has his appetite for other things.

There are some noticeable features in the early Bollywood movies crossing many minds which I wish to share here :
1 - The mysterious case of blossoming and pointed blouses.
2 - Zeenat Aman not being remembered as Star of that time despite being one of the Boldest actress.
3 - Never presenting Actress on screen attending Nature’s Call or enjoying a Gay relationships.

The cover has to be eye-catching, carry some relevance to the subject/content of the book and yet give away nothing about the plot - somewhat like a movie poster.

They have done all this things and now they are faking tears and condolscenes on Twitter, instagram and social media……how can this be encouraged.
This is not new……many actors are suffering from this nepotism…this is the saddest truth behind bollywood🙏
Criminal Projection for a quote and I would (depending on the material you have to work with) take a scene from the book and draw it on the front,spine and back, like have the Scene stretching all around the book cover and do the title in black and somewhat larger and put the quote on the inside sleeve with your journey as a writer on the other…just an idea
Where do I start?
I’m a huge financial nerd, and have spent an embarrassing amount of time talking to people about their money habits.
Here are the biggest mistakes people are making and how to fix them:
Not having a separate high interest savings account
Having a separate account allows you to see the results of all your hard work and keep your money separate so you're less tempted to spend it.
Plus with rates above 5.00%, the interest you can earn compared to most banks really adds up.

Overpaying on car insurance
You’ve heard it a million times before, but the average American family still overspends by $417/year on car insurance.

Consistently being in debt
If you’ve got $10K+ in debt (credit cards…medical bills…anything really) you could use a debt relief program and potentially reduce by over 20%.
Here’s how to see if you qualify:
Head over to this Debt Relief comparison website here, then simply answer the questions to see if you qualify.
It’s as simple as that. You’ll likely end up paying less than you owed before and you could be debt free in as little as 2 years.
Missing out on free money to invest

Times have changed. There are a number of investing platforms that will give you a bonus to open an account and get started. All you have to do is open the account and invest at least $25, and you could get up to $1000 in bonus.
Pretty sweet deal right? Here is a link to some of the best options.

Personally I would say that the image is too busy. If I consider that the title of the novel, possible subtitle, and author name may also be going on said cover, I think it would be difficult to get a visually appealing combination of all these elements when using this image.
Its suitability from a thematic position, for me would be based upon the content of the mystery novel. If these flowers have a part to play in the actual story (or even are referenced in the title) then I would deem it suitable. If flowers have nothing to do with the subject matter however, then I would say the image isn't

If flowers have nothing to do with the subject matter however, then I would say the image isn't really right for your cover.
If you are interested in the flower aspect and want to go ahead, I would suggest looking into the possibility of a vector/drawing/sketch image of flowers that have 1-2 solid colours maximum, as I believe this would suit a novel's cover better, and could provide a better juxtaposition with any text, and would overall be more striking.
Hope this helps, thanks for the A2A!

I don’t really watch or follow bollywood movies but a friend of mine recommended “The stone man murders”. It’s pretty good, i heard.
When something is a mystery it’s unclear. That’s pretty much the definition. To bring this theme into your book cover, you can show us objects or use images that are an obscured or placed out of context, leaving the reader to wonder what they are and why they’re there. Maybe consider only showing part of the roses so that we are unsure whether they are flowers or something more sinister. If you’re looking for more tips on book cover design by genre check out this article - there’s a whole section on mystery novels!
I have to say no. Flowers don't say mystery to me. Now maybe if the title was The Case of the Crimson Tulip, you might get away with it. This photo looks like it belongs on a gardening book.
