The eagerly-awaited longlists for the crime-writing world’s premier awards have been announced.
There are thirteen Dagger prizes organised by the Crime Writers’ Association (CWA), honouring everything from the best novel and non-fiction work to best newcomer.
I have a particular interest in the Dagger in the Library award because in my role as CWA libraries champion in Scotland I and the other champions helped redesign the prize, which is based on nominations from library staff and volunteers as well as readers. You can read all the longlists at
