The book cover for Reservation for Murder by June Wright - Mother Paul Investigates is made up of a drawing of a nun in full habit, with a cross around her neck. She is wearing glasses and standing between the outline of a convent type building and a wrought iron fence. There's a skull showing behind the fence. The sky is orange, the building teal green and the fence (and the nun's face) are also slightly orange. It's a caricature. Image of the book cover for Faculty of Murder. This time the nun is, again in full habit, with the cross around her neck and glasses on. She is standing in front of a building with a tower, and the sky is greenish whilst the building is brown. There's the stylised image of a girl with closed eyes and flowing hair in a greenish background at the bottom, looking for all the world like somebody who is floating. Image of the book cover for Make-Up For Murder, in which the same nun as the earlier covers is standing in front of another elaborate building, this time it's mauvish with a pale orange sky. Underneath her is a panel with a big old TV camera and lights, with somebody standing behind the side on view of the camera, a lot of makeup brushes and makeup towards the bottom left, and a woman's face, half visible, looking distressed.
