Hi folks,
Last year I read all ten and reviewed the nominees on the Maine Crime
Writers blog. (got both winners right). Here are the 2013 nominees in
both categories. I'm somewhat disappointed that two I read and really
liked (Freaks Like us by Susan Vaught and Blind Spot by Laura Ellen)
weren't selected. I've ordered those we don't already own and will read
and predict on MCW again this year.
Regards,
John Clark-Hartland P.L.
