Crime Writers of America Dagger Awards

The Crime Writers of America announced this year's Dagger Awards on October 7th at Specsavers Crime Thriller Awards held this evening at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel.

The winners are:
The CWA Gold Dagger: Tom Franklin Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter (Macmillan)
The CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger: Steve Hamilton The Lock Artist (Orion)
The CWA John Creasey Dagger: S.J. Watson Before I Go To Sleep (Doubleday)

For once, I've read all three. It's hard to pick my favorite but I'd lean to Franklin's Crooked Letter. We own all 3 at Saxton B. and you can find my thoughts of each on our Saxton Reads Blog, GoodReads account or our catalog.

Poke around a bit on The Crime Writers site and you'll find out what other books won awards this year including those for non-fiction and debut novels.

We're always interested in your thoughts on books. If you've read any of these let us know.
