2022 Edgar Award Winner: The Simon & Shuster Mary Higgins Clark Award

The Simon & Schuster Mary Higgins Clark Award: The winner will be selected by a Special MWA Committee for the book most closely written in the Mary Higgins Clark tradition according to guidelines set forth by Mary Higgins Clark:

  • The protagonist is a nice young woman whose life is suddenly invaded.
  • She’s self-made and independent, with primarily good family relationships.
  • She has an interesting job.
  • She is not looking for trouble–she is doing exactly what she should be doing and something cuts across her bow.
  • She solves her problem by her own courage and intelligence.
  • The story has no on-scene violence
  • The story has no strong four-letter words or explicit sex scenes.

We were lucky to have author Naomi Hirhara as part of an author event in February! In conversation with Kim Fay about her new book, "Love and Saffron." A link to the event is here -- it was a lovely conversation between authors!
