Pattern Overview Cigarette Smoke Secrets is a moody bookmark design built around drifting smoke, shadowed interiors, and muted earth-and-steel tones—perfect for mystery novels, crime thrillers, detective journals, and true?crime readers. It’s intentionally minimalist in coverage (lots of negative space), so the atmosphere comes through without turning this into a massive full-coverage marathon. Vibe: late-night stakeout, cold coffee, and the soft glow of streetlight through haze.
