Mystery Writers of America to Award the Edgars

Wednesday April 30, 2008
Tomorrow night the Mystery Writers of America, the club to be in if you're a mystery or crime writer, will present the Edgar Awards in New York City. (If you're not a mystery buff, these are basically their Oscars.) This year's nominees include Michael Chabon, for Best Novel for The Yiddish Policemen's Union; Jean Gould O'Connell, for her biography of her father, the creator of Dick Tracey, Chester Gould (Best Critical/Biography); and Vincent Bugliosi, for Best Fact Crime for his book on the assassination of JFK, Reclaiming History. And the winner is...? All in good time. For now, mystery buffs can weigh in below. (Or look up other nominees on the MWA site.)
