The Crime Writers of Canada Crime Novel Awards
If you are looking for a new author to read, the short list for the 2013 Arthur Ellis Awards is out. Sometimes I find it hard to find a new author to read, so each year I check out the CWC list. There are other categories for Canadian crime writers if you are looking for an author you already are familiar with.
The five novels short listed for the BEST FIRST NOVEL are:
Confined Spaces by Deryn Collier
The Dead of Winter by Peter Kirby
The Haunting of Maddy Clare by Simone St. James
A Private Man by Chris Lang
The Beggar’s Opera by Blair Peggy.
Enjoy.
Thanks for reading . . .
