The word from Left Coast Crime is that Donna Moore's won the Lefty for 'Go to Helena Handbasket'.
The Lefty Award is for the year's most humorous mystery. The nominees were:
Murder Unleashed by Elaine Viets (NAL)
Go to Helena Handbasket by Donna Moore (Point Blank)
47 Rules of Highly Effective Robbers by Troy Cook (Capital Crimes Press)
Monkey Man by Steve Brewer (Intrigue Press)
No Nest for the Wicket by Donna Andrews (St. Martins Press)
I can highly recommend Elaine Viets, most particularly her Francesca Vierling series. This series doesn't set out to be as funny as her other two that I've read, but it is amusing as well as a dead accurate portrayal of the politics of journalism.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately for this blog, she is not "Euro", though.
I have 'Shop till You Drop' on my tbr, which seems to be the first of a different series.
