For me I always take a look and see if I like the cover before I dive into the reading. I liked the cover more than the first look. I'm always curious with a good thriller especially when it's a cold case mystery. Was I blown away? No. Would I read it? Yes. Would I buy it though? No. To me this is a book I might get from the library, so I won't ask for a copy of the book. I would rather it go to someone else who might really want to read it.
