Here’s some news that got us off to a great start this week–The Agatha Award nominees for 2021 were announced this weekend. For more than three decades the annual honor has recognized nominees like familiar names John Grisham, Anne Perry, Max Allan Collins, Sue Grafton, Mary Higgins Clark, Charlaine Harris, Janet Evanovich, Ann Cleeves, Rhys Bowen, Charlotte MacLeod, and many more, as well as celebrated those significantly contributing to the mystery genre, like Angela Lansbury and David Suchet. Nominees are announced early each year and winners awarded at the summer mystery convention Malice Domestic. The annual list commemorates traditional mystery works typified by the novels of mystery author Agatha Christie (pictured above). And who was nominated for the 2021 Agatha Award? Our own borg contributor Elizabeth C. Bunce, for her novel Premeditated Myrtle!
