Congratulations to all the winners!

Last night I put up a post, a link is below, about the Shortlist for the Best Novel Category in which I assessed them on the basis of "Which was the Hardest to Put Down". Fate by Ian Hamilton was my hardest. Greenwood, the winner, was second hardest. It is clearly a good book. I will be reviewing all of the books on the shortlist and putting up my thoughts on which was the best.
