A few months ago I announced that my book Murder Most Grotesque: The Comedic Crime Fiction of Joyce Porter had been nominated for an Agatha Award for Best Non-Fiction! This past weekend, the Agatha winners were announced, and the winners of the category were Lee Child and Laurie R. King for How to Write a Mystery: A Handbook from Mystery Writers of America. Congratulations to them, and congratulations to the other nominees, Jan Brogan for The Combat Zone: Murder, Race, and Boston’s Struggle for Justice, and Julie Kavanaugh’s The Irish Assassins: Conspiracy, Revenge, and the Phoenix Park Murders that Stunned Victorian England. Well done to them, and all the other winners and nominees for the recently announced Agathas and the Edgars!
