It’s definitely award nominations season. We’ve already heard about this year’s shortlists for the Edgar Awards, the Hammett Prize, the Agatha Awards, and the Strand Magazine Critics Awards. Now comes the rundown of contenders for the 30th annual Los Angeles Times Book Prizes. In addition to categories for Biographies, Current Interest, Fiction, and more, there’s of course a grouping for Mystery/Thriller. Those nominees are:
• Bury Me Deep, by Megan Abbott (Simon & Schuster)
• The Hidden Man, by David Ellis (Putnam)
• Black Water Rising, by Attica Locke (HarperCollins)
• A Darker Domain, by Val McDermid (HarperCollins)
• The Ghosts of Belfast, by Stuart Neville (Soho Press)
The winner in this and other categories will be announced during a ceremony at the Times’ Chandler Auditorium on April 23. That event serves as the opening act for the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, which bills itself as the “nation’s premier public literary festival,” in its 15th year in 2010.
Congratulations to all of the nominees!
