Winners of the 2021 British Book Awards—also known as The Nibbies—have been announced, in 29 categories (including trade awards). These prizes are administered annually by The Bookseller.
There were half a dozen contenders for Crime & Thriller Book of the Year, with the victor being Troubled Blood (Sphere), by Robert Galbraith (aka J.K. Rowling). The other shortlisted candidates were The Sentinel, by Lee Child and Andrew Child (Bantam Press); The Patient Man, by Joy Ellis (Joffe); The Guest List, by Lucy Foley (HarperCollins); The Thursday Murder Club, by Richard Osman (Viking); and A Song for the Dark Times, by Ian Rankin (Orion).
Troubled Blood was also in the running for Overall Book of the Year, but lost out to Douglas Stuart’s Shuggie Bain (Picador).
