2014 Agatha Award Winners (presented in 2015)

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE AGATHA AWARD WINNERS AND NOMINEES!

I know the title may sound a little confusing with both 2015 and 2014 in it, but that’s because the Agatha Awards for the mystery books published in 2014 were just announced at the Malice Domestic convention in May 2015.

Here are the 2014 Agatha Award Winners:

Best Contemporary Novel: Truth Be Told by Hank Phillippi Ryan

Best Historical Novel: Queen of Hearts by Rhys Bowen

Again, Congratulations to ALL!
