As I've mentioned before, I'm tired of seeing headless women on royal book covers, and so is Mandy from The Royal Representative: Royal book cover review
I thought maybe I should occasionally post current royalty book covers featuring women with heads. However, the headless/faceless trend is so prevalent that I'm having trouble finding popular-history books or historical novels with covers that don't look like this:
The cover of Sandra Gulland's novel Mistress of the Sun, about Louis XIV's mistress Louise de la Valliére, does show the heroine from the neck up. Quite a novelty these days.
But the dress on the new edition of Murder Most Royal is pretty!
I agree, it is pretty — in fact I think it's a prettier cover than Mistress of the Sun. I just wish more artists were allowed to add faces!
