Crime Trilogy Cover Design: Kommissarin Sarah Molony Investigates
A visually cohesive cover trilogy that blends crime and comedy—designed to balance suspense with charm. Each cover introduces a new case led by fictional investigator Sarah Molony, with visual metaphors, recurring color schemes, and illustrated characters that hint at quirky storytelling. Created over several years, these designs stay true to the series' witty tone while keeping shelf impact and genre clarity in focus.
challenge.
To unify three separate stories into a recognizable visual series, each cover needed to stand on its own while clearly belonging to the same world. The goal was to strike the right balance between crime and comedy—delivering intrigue without losing the light, quirky tone. Working closely with the author, I developed a flexible visual system that could grow with the series and work well across both digital and print formats.
result.
All three books are published and available on Amazon, in both paperback and Kindle editions. The trilogy has built a loyal reader base and the consistent, character-driven design helped boost series recognition. The covers have been praised for standing out in online listings while clearly communicating tone and genre—important for first-time and returning buyers alike.
testimonial.
