Had an excellent night at the Davitt Awards (for Australian women's crime fiction and true crime) at the Celtic Club last night. I caught up with heaps of people I hadn't seen for ages, and also caught up with people I'd seen only the other week. The speaker, Justice Betty King, was brilliant and wonderfully opinionated, and the awards went to:

Best adult crime novel:
Malla Nunn, A Beautiful Place to Die

Best YA crime novel:
Catherine Jinks, Genius Squad

Best true crime book:
Chloe Hooper, The Tall Man

Readers' choice award:
Katherine Howell, The Darkest Hour
