Everyone loves a good murder mystery and no one has a better mystery book collection than Harlequin Enterprises. The same can be said about the cover art for Harlequin’s Worldwide Mystery Series. A dynamic collaboration between i2i Art illustrators and Harlequin’s design team, these covers are a labour of love. The artists enjoy getting their creativity flowing and teaming up with Art Director extraordinaire Tara Scarcello.
