I apparently missed mentioning one in my rush to wrap-up the numerous prizes that had been dispensed during my time away at Bouchercon in San Diego. Sisters in Crime Australia last week announced the winners of its 2023 Davitt Awards, which are meant to celebrate “the best crime and mystery books by Australian women.”
Adult Novel:
All That’s Left Unsaid, by Tracey Lien (HQ Fiction)
Young Adult Novel:
Seven Days, by Fleur Ferris (Penguin Random House Australia)
Children’s Novel:
The Sugarcane Kids and the Red-bottomed Boat, by Charlie Archbold (Text Publishing)
Non-fiction Book:
Out of the Ashes, by Megan Norris (Big Sky)
Debut Book:
Dirt Town, by Hayley Scrivenor (Macmillan)
Readers’ Choice:
The Unbelieved, by Vikki Petraitis (Allen & Unwin)
This annual commendation is named for Ellen Davitt (1812-1879), Australia’s first crime novelist.
