Work of Morbid Humor Victorious

Last evening brought the announcement of the 2019 Los Angeles Times Book Award winners. That event preceded the start of the latest L.A. Times Festival of Books, which is being held this weekend on the University of Southern California campus.

There were five nominees in the Mystery/Thriller category, and Oyinkan Braithwaite won with her Lagos-set debut novel, My Sister, the Serial Killer (Doubleday). The other finalists in that same category were Give Me Your Hand, by Megan Abbott (Little, Brown); Green Sun, by Kent Anderson (Mulholland); November Road, by Lou Berney (Morrow); and The Perfect Nanny, by Leila Slimani (Penguin).

You will find the full list of winners here.
