Megan Abbott has won the 2026 Los Angeles Times Book Prize, in the Mystery/Thriller category, for her novel El Dorado Drive (Putnam), described as “a simmering, atmospheric novel of friendship and betrayal, following a women-led pyramid scheme in suburban Detroit.” That announcement was made on Friday night and marked the opening of the the annual L.A. Times Festival of Books.
Also contending for top Mystery/Thriller acclaim were Everybody Wants to Rule the World, by Ace Atkins (Morrow); Crooks, by Lou Berney (Morrow); The Proving Ground, by Michael Connelly (Little, Brown); and King of Ashes, by S.A. Cosby (Pine & Cedar).
