(for works published in 2021)
The Macavity Awards are nominated by members of Mystery Readers International, subscribers to Mystery Readers Journal, and friends of MRI. The winners were announced tonight at opening ceremonies at the Minneapolis Bouchercon. Thanks to George Easter of Deadly Pleasures Magazine for handling the presentation since I couldn't be at Bouchercon. Congratulations to all.
