2020 Edgar Awards

The Mystery Writers of America have announced the winners of the 2020 Edgar Awards. Among the winners:

  • Best Novel: The Stranger Diaries by Elly Griffiths (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt)
  • Best Short Story: “One of These Nights,” from Cutting Edge: New Stories of Mystery and Crime by Women Writers by Livia Llewellyn (Akashic Books)
  • TV Episode Teleplay: “Season 5, Episode 4” – Line of Duty, Teleplay by Jed Mercurio (Acorn TV)
I rarely read mysteries, so I'm not familiar with any of the winners, but I do watch a lot of mystery and crime show TV, so I was glad to see an episode from Line of Duty win. Line of Duty is one of the very best British TV shows we've seen and is the standard by which I judge most of them.
