Trussoni Triumphant in L.A.

Last evening brought announcements of which books and authors have won the 45th Los Angeles Times Book Prizes. There were 12 competitive categories, plus three special awards given out. The full list of recipients can be found here.

Of likely greatest interest to Rap Sheet readers, though, is that Danielle Trussoni won in the Mystery/Thriller bracket with her 2024 novel, The Puzzle Box (Random House). Competing in that same division were Havoc, by Christopher Bollen (Harper); The Waiting, by Michael Connelly (Little, Brown); Guide Me Home, by Attica Locke (Mulholland); and The God of the Woods, by Liz Moore (Riverhead).

Congratulations to all of this year’s nominees!
