Karin Slaughter, CRIMINAL: Covers, US and UK

Yesterday's interview with Karin Slaughter covered so many compelling directions that I'm still thinking about it. And of course, there's her new book CRIMINAL (review here), which extends from the 1970s until now, wrestling with both a horrifying criminal and the changing situation of women in the Atlanta, GA, police force.

One more aspect to consider: I'm always intrigued by the difference between the American and European cover designs. Here they are -- what do you think?
US

UK

Much prefer the UK cover! The US one is so nondescript. The UK one has the contrasting colors and the scrawled message, which is intriguing.
