Celebrating the “Dead”

Patricia Cornwell’s Book of the Dead has won the Galaxy British Book Award (or “Nibbie”) for Best Crime Thriller of the Year. Also in the running: The Tin Roof Blowdown, by James Lee Burke; Bad Luck and Trouble, by Lee Child; The Grave Tattoo, by Val McDermid; and Exit Music, by Ian Rankin.

You’ll find a full rundown of the victors in all categories here.

And Sarah Weinman points us to some rather funny photographs of Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling’s performance at last night’s gala awards presentation.
