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 five categories. The winners will be announced at Bouchercon in San Diego, California, in late August.
Three SMFS list members reported being nominated in
two different categories. The members, their works, and the categories they are
nominated in are:
