Cover Cliches: Blue House, Yellow Window

A silly little collection of a trend I've noticed recently, usually among thrillers. Some of these probably have alternate covers as well, but I'm including them because I've seen one which fits. Suggestions welcome! Simply ask yourself: Is house blue? Is window yellow?

my reading red flag is that if a book had this cover or a generic thriller title along the lines of “she was wrong” or “how it happened” i’m GONNA read it

I love spotting a cover trend! If you're taking additions, When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole came to mind immediately

I'm happy to use the word "house" loosely here, too. Some of these are definitely skewing "cabin", at least one is a barn, I think there's a church? And of course, one is the Capitol Building 😂
