Beth Montgomery’s chilling mystery novel Murderer’s Thumb has been longlisted in the Young Adult category of the annual Davitt Awards. Run by the Sisters in Crime, these awards celebrate crime writing by Australian women. The winners will be announced on 21 August in Melbourne.

Murderer’s thumb, Montgomery’s second novel, was chosen earlier this year for the prestigious White Ravens Selection, by the International Youth Library.

Text congratulates Beth and we look forward to the Davitts in August.
