So much for my mini-vacation. After a week spent hosting a good friend from out of town, followed by a few days of much-needed leisure in Canada with my wife, what should greet me upon my return? Almost 700 unwanted messages needing to be cleared out of my e-mailbox, plus developments aplenty in the world of crime fiction.
In the way of news, let’s begin with the announcement, by The Strand Magazine, of its 2022 Critics Awards nominees, in two categories.
Best Mystery Debut:
• Who Is Maud Dixon? by Alexandra Andrews (Little, Brown)
• The Other Black Girl, by Zakiya Dalila Harris (Atria)
• Bullet Train, by Kōtarō Isaka (Abrams)

• Velvet Was the Night, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Del Rey)
• All Her Little Secrets, by Wanda M. Morris (Morrow)
Best Mystery Novel:
