The Macavity Award is named for the “mystery cat” of T.S.
Eliot (Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats). Each year The Macavity Awards are
nominated and voted on by members of Mystery Readers International, subscribers
to Mystery Readers Journal, and friends and supporters of MRI who all nominate
and vote for their favorite mysteries in four categories. The winners will be
announced at Bouchercon in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in September.
This year we have five members of the Short Mystery Fiction Society nominated in the category of Best Short Story. The nominees are:
Richard Helms: “Sweeps Week” (Ellery
