The winners of the last three CWA Daggers were revealed at the Specsavers Crime Thriller Awards held yesterday evening at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel. You can watch the ceremony next Tuesday, 11th October, on ITV3.
The winners are:
The CWA Gold Dagger: Tom Franklin Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter (Macmillan)
The CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger: Steve Hamilton The Lock Artist (Orion)
The CWA John Creasey Dagger: S.J. Watson Before I Go To Sleep (Doubleday)
Peter James, Chair of the Crime Writers’ Association, commented: “Judging an award is not only subjective it is a daunting, and very onerous task. It was especially so this year as the quality of the entries for all the Daggers was quite exceptionally high, and every single one of those on the shortlists would have made a worthy winner. But those selected by the judges had, in their view, just that extra spark that lifted them above their competitors, and the writers are all quite exceptionally talented, raising our beloved genre to new heights of quality in the literary world.”
