It’s that time of year again Killer Readers… the time when the masters of intrigue, suspense, and murders most horrid are honoured in The Specsavers Crime Thriller Awards, in association with the Crime Writers’ Association!

The shortlists have officially been announced and there has been a flurry of excitement here at Killer Reads as our brilliant author, Greg Iles, has been shortlisted for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger for Best Thriller of the Year, for his stunning novel Natchez Burning

We’re also extremely proud to announce that S. J.
