This week, I’m giving away award nominees. Deanna Raybourn’s A Treacherous Curse is an Edgar nominee for Best Novel. In London, 1888, Victorian adventuress Veronica Speedwell is fascinated by stories of archaeological digs. But, her colleague, Stoker, is the talk of society when his former expedition partner disappears with a priceless diadem. Stories of an ancient curse and Stoker’s sordid past send the adventuress on the track of a mystery.

Anthony Horowitz’ The Word is Murder is a nominee for the Barry Award for Best Thriller. In London, Diana Cowper enters a funeral home to plan her own service. Six hours later she’s dead. Disgraced police detective Daniel Hawthorne is investigating. His partner? The celebrated novelist Anthony Horowitz is curious about the case and looking for new material. But, Horowitz suspects his brilliant partner may be hiding secrets.
