This annual award is organised by the Crime Writers' Association, and chosen by Librarians and Library Reading Groups. It is awarded to the author of crime fiction whose work is currently giving the greatest enjoyment to library users.
(Nominations should be for authors whose discovery has recently delighted readers, rather than long-standing favourites. The award is given for the body of an author’s work, not for an individual title. Nominated authors must be alive at the time of nomination, have published at least two novels and preferably be working in Britain).
