2009 Agatha Awards Nominees…

Congratulations to the Finalists for the 2009 Nero Wolfe  Awards. The (yearly) Black Orchid Banquet will be taking place in early December, so we will have to wait until then to find out which of the three finalists is chosen as the Winner… Let's face it, though, all three of them are winners for being finalists!

Sorry about posting this so "after the fact"… I kept thinking that I wanted to post the 2009 Anthony Award nominees and winners, who were announced at Bouchercon 2009 last month. Another case of better late than never…
