What do these things say about the books? Yeah, you can say after the fact they're about this and that, but if you knew nothing about the content of the book beforehand you couldn't.
I really like my cover. I'm glad you think it's great. Yours and a few comments if not entirely reviving my hopes for it are at least breathing a little life into it. Thanks.

I have no idea what the other two are, but as for
Girl on the Train, that cover obviously depicts a view through the window of a moving train, and fits the title and the story.
In any case, your cover isn't an indistinct blob--it's some sort of Ferris wheel with fireworks. Those elements don't connect at all with either the title or the blurb.
