Det kryllar av priser som ska delas ut under hösten, och jag som älskar deckare, både i bokform och som tv-serier, kommer att känna mig som en vinnare oavsett vem som kammar hem priset i nästan alla kategorier, eller vad sägs om listan här nedanför?
Den engelska texten har jag lånat av Omnimysterynews och mina personliga favoriter är markerade med fetstil.
For crime fiction fans — and if you’re reading this, you’re probably one of those — there is the Bestseller Dagger, where readers choose the winner. The nominees are …
• Jo Nesbø
• Anthony Horowitz
• Kathy Reichs
• Stuart MacBride
• Ann Cleeves
Kommentar: Ann Cleeves får vara med bland mina favoriter, men då syftar jag på hennes böcker om Vera. Hennes världsberömda Shetlandskvartett gillar jag däremot inte alls.
Här röstar du på din favoritförfattare!
And then there is the fan vote for the best ”Detective Duo of the Year”. These are from television series, but most have been adapted from, or based on characters from, crime novels.
• Above Suspicion (DCI James Langton and DI Anna Travis)
• Lewis (DI Robbie Lewis and DS James Hathaway)
• Scott & Bailey (DCs Janet Scott and Rachel Bailey)
• Vera (DCI Vera Stanhope and DS Joe Ashworth)
• Whitechapel (DI Joseph Chandler and DS Ray Miles)
• DCI Banks (DCI Alan Banks and DS Annie Cabbot)
Voting on these duos won’t open until Friday, September 7th, but here is the link to visit
