Agatha Awards
The
Agatha Awards honor the traditional mystery—-books best typified
by the works of Agatha Christie. The genre is generally characterized
by mysteries that contain no explicit sex, excessive gore, or gratuitous
violence; usually featuring an amateur detective, they have a confined
setting and characters who know one another.
