This cover doesn’t work for me — it adds nothing to the cover copy at the top, doesn’t show anything about the book except that it involves … well, people.
This one is more effective in catching the eye, and conveys a sense of story even without the cover copy.
This one too, a 1945 novel showing a situation — misguided passion during wartime — that lots of people experienced. Some discussion of the book and the author here. And like The Tigress it’s a more interesting scene than the floating heads.
And here we have an example of that classic sub-genre of Southern fiction, the Sexy Swamp Chick. The image doesn’t tell a story but it does sell the book.
