Does the book have a car in it? When I read the title, I think of an actual moth or like a metaphysical one. Like a loss of innocence story. Sorry, I don’t know what the series is about.

Yes, it has a specific car in it, one that played a symbolic role (“resurrection” or regaining life against despite fantastic odds/difficulties) in the first book, which was (is) a mystery-thriller. The moth in the title is also symbolic, loss of innocence and temptation. The car does get burned and it contains some very valuable possessions as well as a live person in the second book.

In short, the “moth” is inside the car, getting burned in the climax of the novel. I’m of two minds here: one, that this cover image in relation to the title will appeal to people wanting to know what this moth business is (why a car burning instead of a moth?) and 2) this cover image in relation to the title will be confusing and clunky and repellant because it’s a car burning and not a moth. Is this author so stupid he can’t tell the difference between a moth and a car?!

I love the first picture the best…the moth by the flame. You may not have considered it for the cover, but it is intriguing. Perhaps something along those lines.
