The Edgar Awards
Very excited to hear that Steve Hamilton won the 2011 Edgar Award for Best Novel last night.
I reviewed The Lock Artist here last year, and it was a popular booktalk in my library this spring. The story has all kinds of teen appeal. It even won an Alex Award.
Hamilton was up against some stiff competition, including Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter and Faithful Place. I wrote about the nominations when they were announced in January. The full list of winners can be found on the TheEdgars.com.
