Mystery Book Cover Realistic Illustration

Entertainment & The Arts

Indie author of cozy mystery novels (think Murder She Wrote). Target audience is 75% 40+ year old and female. These books are not dark or overly violent and the main character is an amateur sleuth who is likeable but nosey.

I need a revamped cover for my first mystery in a series (existing cover https://www.amazon.com/ICED-Resort-Mystery-Avery-Daniels-ebook/dp/B071LFD6JV) This is the image that you are redoing. The rest are for your information to complete the job. Dimensions: 5.25 inches X 8 inches (133.3 mm X 203.2mm) I need the setting to be an expensive 5 star resort with European elegance - interior. The murder weapon is a 5 ft long ice sculpture of a swordfish - the nose. Other items that you might consider, the ice sculpture is on a buffet table with food around, a big clue is the presence of a crab-leg cracker tool. FOR REFERENCE:--The resort is inspired by this resort in their convention center: https://www.broadmoor.com/meetings-events/ FOR REFERENCE:--I would like it more realistic of illustration along the lines of these fellow cozy mystery novels: https://www.amazon.com/Wedding-Duress-Southern-Sewing-Mystery-ebook/dp/B00LMGK4GG and this https://www.amazon.com/Bless-Little-Southern-Ladies-Mystery-ebook/dp/B00ISEOMQS/ IMPORTANT: Heroine should also be realistic, dark hair shoulder length with hair down, pretty in mid twenties but professional as she works in management at the resort. So think blazers or nice blouses, skirts or pants and low heals with tasteful reserved jewelry. But, I want the face not to show. The lower face might show. Standing in foreground like in the attached cover and this example FOR REFERENCE: https://www.amazon.com/Serpents-Daughter-Jade-Cameron-Mystery-ebook/dp/B0011UGNE0 **ALSO I need the blue banner and the title from the attached failed attempt (too cartoonish, setting isn't apropos, the "ice sculpture" is too small and looks like a live fish etc.) to be used on new cover so it maintains elements with the other books in series. The author name of Avery Daniels you can do in a similar san serif font as shown. Please download the failed attempt **to reuse blue banner with text and the title that is attached**: Thank you!
