Dilys Award Nominees, Plus Bel Air Mystery Book Group

I saw this piece of news in an online newsletter I subscribe to, Shelf Awareness, yesterday's edition (Jan 15). I thought the news would be of special interest, since many of our readers are Mystery fans.

Nominees for the Dilys Award have been announced. This is an award sponsored by the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association, recognizing the book that member bookstores most enjoyed handselling. Nominees are:

* Her Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen Find this book in our catalog.
