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."
Sorry, 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!
I kept typing Phoenix, too, in my review....but it would not have worked for the plot ;-)
Yes, Phoenix wouldn't have worked for the plot. The Sphinx has a very specific meaning here.
However, 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.
