The Agatha Awards
If you’re in the need of some good mystery reading you probably can’t go wrong with the 2009 winners of The Agatha Award. Named after none other than the grand dame of mystery fiction, Agatha Christie, they are given to “honor the "traditional mystery." They contain no explicit sex or excessive gore or gratuitous. You won’t find anything considered hard-boiled here.
