Take Your Best Shot

For the second year in a row, the British Web site Crime Fiction Lover is asking genre fans to choose the contenders for its Crime Fiction Lover Awards. “All year,” it remarks, “you’ve been reading our opinions on crime novels and seeing the verdicts we give at the bottom of our reviews. Now it’s your turn to have your say. You get to decide who wins a Crime Fiction Lover Award in 2022.”

Nominations will be accepted between now and noon (UK time) on Wednesday, November 2, in six separate categories:

Best Crime Novel
Best Debut
Best in Translation
Best Indie Novel
Best Author
Best Crime Show

The official nominating form can be filled out here. You need not enter a title or name in every division.

To qualify, books must have reached print—in English—between November 1, 2021, and October 31, 2002. Best Author contestants must have had their crime fiction published during that same period. Following the balloting cut-off date, and the tallying of results, a shortlist of finalists will be released on Crime Fiction Lover, and a new online form posted to select this year’s winners.

Again, this is where you should go to register your votes. And look here for a full roster of the 2021 CFL Award recipients.
