British Crime Writers’ Association Awards
by Kate Stine
July 14th, 2008Matt Beynon Rees’ A Murder in Bethlehem (published in the US as The Collaborator of Bethlehem) has won the New Blood Dagger from the Crime Writers’ Association of Britain. Mystery Scene readers will be familiar with Rees, a former journalist, from Barbara Fister’s excellent 2007 profile, “The War Within.” Omar Yussef, the Palestinian schoolteacher-turned-detective, is a big favorite here at the magazine.
Martin Edwards, a frequent contributor to Mystery Scene, won the CWA Short Story Award for “The Bookbinder’s Apprentice,” published in The Mammoth Book of Best British Mysteries edited by Maxim Jakubowski. In addition to award-winning fiction, Martin also writes excellent criticism. Over the past few years he has contributed profiles of Minette Walters, Benjamin Black (aka John Banville), Sarah Caudwell, Michael Gilbert and Ellis Peters, among others. Here is a look at one of our favorites “H.R.F. Keating: Putting the Reader First.” Congratulations Martin!
