Shortlist announced for the 2014 Arthur Ellis Award
The Crime Writers of Canada have announced the shortlists for the 2014 Arthur Ellis Awards. The awards, established in 1984 and named after the nom de travail of Canada's official hangman, are for crime writing, and they are not restricted to mystery writing. Crime-writing encompasses far more than the traditional whodunit. The crime genre includes crime, detective, espionage, mystery, suspense, and thriller writing, as well as fictional or factual accounts of criminal doings and crime-themed literary works. The finalists for Best Juvenile/YA Crime Book are listed below.
