Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger (Atria) has won the 2014 Dilys Award, which honors the mystery that members of the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association most enjoyed selling during the previous year. The announcement was made Thursday during the Left Coast Crime 2014 conference in Monterey, Calif.
Krueger said, "Because it comes from people who know and love books, the Dilys Award is one of the most meaningful awards in our business. I love Ordinary Grace, and it's such a joy to know that it's found a place in the hearts of mystery booksellers across the country. To all booksellers everywhere, a huge thank you for all that you do for those of us who write and publish, and, even more important, for those of us who read."
