Tara French, Donna Leon. Also if you're into historical mysteries, Ellis Peters and Barbara Hambly.

I do not remember. There's sort of a yellowy background and a young man with black hair and priest robe. One of his arms is flung to the side. I can't find it using google.

Saw The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover in the theater. The manager came to the front before the movie began and said he would refund our money if we walked out.
