As has become traditional, I have now set up two polls relating to the International Dagger. They will close on 20 July 12:00 am. The announcement of the winner of the International Dagger 2011 will be made on 22 July at the Harrogate Crime Writing Festival.
The first poll is for:
Which book do you want to win.
The second poll is for:
Which book do you think will win.
The polls can be found on the RHS of the blog. We'll see how much correlation there is between the two polls - and you can see the results of last year's polls here.
Apologies: The Camilleri is of course The Wings of the Sphinx, no idea why I wrote Phoenix! (twice!!) Now the poll has been voted on I cannot correct it.
Just a typo: Camilleri's book is "Wings of the Sphinx."
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I proofread.
Aargh. I've had such problems with that title - I cannot remember it properly. I'll have to leave it now as people have voted. How annoying!
ReplyDeleteI kept typing Phoenix, too, in my review....but it would not have worked for the plot ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, Phoenix wouldn't have worked for the plot. The Sphinx has a very specific meaning here.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the error is very understandable and a witty one, at that.
Just finished aforementioned book. Enjoyed it, spent the day in Sicily with Montalbano, laughing away. The problem is I am tempted to just go on a roll and read all of Camilleri's books now but I must fulfill various challenges, read the Dagger shortlist and stay global -- beyond Italy. But it is so tempting.
