The International Association of Crime Writers (IACW), North American Branch has given its 2024 Dashiell Hammett Award for Literary Excellence in Crime Writing to author Liz Moore for The God of the Woods (Riverhead). This is just the latest win in that novel’s streak; it previously picked up the Anthony Award for Best Hardcover Novel and the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Mystery & Thriller.
Also vying for the Hammett were Broiler, by Eli Cranor (Soho Crime); Rough Trade, by Katrina Carrasco (MCD); Crooked, by Dietrich Kalteis (ECW Press); and The Long-Shot Trial, by William Deverell (ECW Press).
As Wikipedia explains, the Hammett Award—established in 1991—is given out annually “to a Canadian or U.S. citizen or permanent resident for a book in English in the field of crime writing.” Congratulations to all of this year’s nominees!
