Congratulations to all!
Loved Shell Game – so glad to see it won. And Marilyn Stasio has long been my resource for books to read. I have a lovely note I received from her. I had written to thank her for telling me of Magdalen Nabb's Marshal Guarnaccia series set in Florence, Italy. On a subsequent visit to Florence my daughter and I had tea with her at her house near the Boboli Gardens. She died just a year later. If you haven't read these books I highly recommend them.
I haven't read that series. Oh, how wonderful that you had tea with Magdalen Nabb. I'll have to read them. I think Marilyn Stasio should have received the Raven Award a long time ago.
