Blogger-critic Sarah Weinman, who after all was one of the judges of this competition (together with Dick Adler and Oline Cogdill), was first up with the list of 2008 Los Angeles Times Book Prize nominations. But if you still haven’t heard, here are the contenders in the Mystery/Thriller category:
• The Finder, by Colin Harrison (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
• Envy the Night, by Michael Koryta (St. Martin’s Minotaur)
• Bad Traffic, by Simon Lewis (Scribner)
• The Age of Dreaming, by Nina Revoyr (Akashic Books)
• Child 44, by Tom Rob Smith (Grand Central)
A list of nominees in all nine award categories can be found here.
These book commendations will be given out on Friday, April 24, in a private evening ceremony at the Los Angeles Times building. In addition to all the rest, Robert Alter, a professor of Hebrew and Comparative Literature at the University of California at Berkeley, will receive this year’s Robert Kirsch Award.
