Mystery Writers of America celebrates 2024 Edgar Award Winners - Publishers Weekly

Repeat after me: Mystery writers are funny.

Today on his daily tootle in the Catosphere, Panzer visited the Publishers Weekly site. There in keeping with this week's mystery awards announcements, he discovered the Mystery Writers of America (MWA) announced the 2024 Edgar winners last night.

In addition to listing the winners in the fifteen categories, Lenny Picker's post has excerpts from the winners' acceptance speeches. These prove that writers who kill people (on paper) have a sense of humor.

Panzer says, "It looks like they had a lot of fun at the awards ceremony." 

Note: This is a long post. Bring a cup of tea, a blueberry muffin and a chocolate chip cookie (biscuit) to snack on while you read.
