This is part of my ongoing series on using Awards Lists as a RA tool. Click here for all posts in the series in reverse chronological order. Click here for the first post which outlines the details how to use awards lists as a RA tool.
The Mystery Writers of America have announced the nominees of the 2022 Edgar Awards here. These are awards for Mystery and Crime, Fiction and Nonfiction, as well as television, all produced in 2021.
The Edgar awards are an EXCELLENT resource, for all of the reasons I normally discuss [see link in the intro], but also because 2 of their awards are straight up readalike awards-- The Mary Higgins Clark Award and the Sue Grafton Memorial Awards. I rely on these awards to help fans of these authors find new titles and authors.
The Edgar Awards also have a WONDERFUL database. You can easily search back 76 years [!] and because mysteries are so popular in our libraries, there are endless display and suggestion possibilities held in that database. You can search by category, author, year, basically anyway you might want to look for titles, they have you covered.
Explore the database for yourself.
