Edgars nominees announced!

In other MWA news, I’m proud to see that Augie Aleksy’s Centuries & Sleuths bookstore in Forest Park is receiving a Raven award and Chicago’s Sara Paretsky is the grand master. It’s a good year for Chicago! I’d love to go to NY for the Edgars Symposium and awards banquet.
