Jasper the cat is taking a break from his life of crime to pose for a picture 😸

I read most of this, but skipped some parts that didn't interest me. Attempts to provide some diversity, but still mainly British/American/European writers covered.

2023 Edgar Award winners have been announced! Very happy that Tell Me Everything by Erika Krouse won the Best Fact Crime category. That was one of my favorite reads last year. Also enjoyed Notes on an Execution which won for Best Novel. Very interested in tagged which won Best Critical/Biographical. See link in comments for the full list.
