Looking for something new to read in crime? It’s awards seasons, and the shortlists always offer a mix of established talent and bright new stars.

The Crimefest award shortlists were announced yesterday, including the eDunnit award for best ebook, and the Goldsboro Last Laugh award for a comic crime novel. Find out more here http://www.crimefest.com/awards.html Many CWA members are on the list.
