Choice Cuts

The Gumshoe Site reports that Michigan writer Doug Allyn is the first-place winner in the 2015 Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine Readers Choice Award contest for his story “The Snow Angel,” which appeared in EQMM’s January 2014 issue. “The Snow Angel” previously won the 2015 Derringer Award for Best Novelette.

Second-place honors in EQMM’s reader vote-determined competition went to “Blood Red Roses,” by Marilyn Todd (September/October 2014), while Miriam Grace Monfredo captured third place with “The Tavern Keeper’s Daughter” (December 2014).

These results evidently feature in the mag’s May 2015 edition.
