We're heading into Edgar Awards Week. This will be the sixteenth time I have attended the Awards Banquet (hope I didn't jinx anything by mentioning that) and the most striking change is that there is no longer dancing before the awards. Otto Penzler and Mary Higgins Clark always made such a striking couple!
And yes, it was the 33rd birthday of The Mysterious Bookshop last Friday.
Here's the update.
