A great list. I have belatedly become a fan of Ken Bruen who is very dark but whose prose rings like poetry. And I thoroughly enjoyed PD James' book on detective fiction (especially after reading Symons). Never having seen the award itself, I am delighted since I understand cats on books quite well.
It was great seeing the awards up close this year. You're a dynamo. Thanks for all your hard work!
And great to see you. Thanks so much!
