It’s apparently that time again, when the British crime-fiction Web site Dead Good solicits online nominations for its annual Dead Good Reader Awards. As I recall, this competition began back in 2015, and its categories vary with each twelvemonth. Last year, for instance, we were asked to pick the winners of The Holmes and Watson Award for Best Detective Duo and The Wringer Award for the Character Who’s Been Put Through It All, while in 2017 books vied for The Hidden Depths Award for Most Unreliable Narrator and The Cat Amongst the Pigeons Award for Most Exceptional Debut.
2019 brings us the following half-dozen classifications of contenders, only the last one being a standard for this contest:
• The Nosy Parker Award for Best Amateur Detective
• The Jury's Out Award for Most Gripping Courtroom Drama
• The Dish Served Cold Award for Best Revenge Thriller
• The Cancel All Plans Award for the Book You Can't Put Down
• The Cat and Mouse Award for Most Elusive Villain
• The Dead Good Recommends Award for Most Recommended Book
Click here to recommend crime, mystery, and thriller novels—“published in any format within the past year”—that you think deserve acclaim under these headings. Those scoring the greatest number of nominations will be shortlisted for a final public vote. The victor will be announced on Friday, July 19, during this year’s Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate, England.
