Congratulations to all the winners. I look forward to your thoughts on the short-listed novels, Bill, and part of my reading goal for this year is to read at least some of them myself. There is some fantastic Canadian crime fiction out there, and it's good to be reminded of it.
ReplyDeleteMargot: Thanks for the comment. I am also looking forward to reading the books. We will glad to have you make a reading visit north of the border.
