Sylvia McConnell received the Derrick Murdoch Award. She began RendezVous Crime in 1998 and published 80 crime novels over the next 13 years which were written by Canadians and set in Canada.
I am about half way through the short list for the Best Novel. As I have not yet started Plague I have decided to leave it for the last of the five books on the short list.
Thanks for sharing this, Bill. I'll be really interested in your review of Plague when you finish it.
ReplyDeleteMargot: Thanks for the comment. It is always exciting to read the book judged the best in Canada.
