The 2013 Arthur Ellis Awards have been announced!

The Arthur Ellis Awards are presented by the Crime Writers of Canada.

This year's YA winner is:

Becoming Holmes, by Shane Peacock

The other finalists were:

Live to Tell, by Lisa Harrington

The Agency: Traitor in the Tunnel, by Y.S. Lee

Crush Candy Corpse, by Sylvia McNicoll 

The Lynching of Louie Sam, by Elizabeth Stewart

I have no idea what it's about, but I'm totally going to read Crush Candy Corpse because it has the BEST TITLE EVER. (<--I just looked it up and it looks decidedly less ridiculous than what I was hoping for. Still going to read it, though.)

See the rest of the winners here.

(Relatedly, did you know that there was a "Dexter killer"? I HAD NO IDEA. Man, I have GOT to pay more attention to the news.)
