BURY YOUR DEAD has just won the Agatha for Best Novel at this year's Malice domestic. The only series to ever win 4 Agathas. I am so thrilled. And SO deeply grateful to not only the readers, of course - but my fellow writers, for being so understanding and so generous. And tolerant.
Yippeee!!!
And my fellow Canadian, Mary Jane Maffini, won for Best Short Story! Here's a photo of us together! Yippee....Oh, I might have said that before.
Wish I could say I was off to celebrate - but it's almost midnight and we're going to crawl into bed and go to sleep smiling. And doing our sums.

Wonderful news! And another wonderful newsletter. Have fun in PA. I will be nursing my wounds, wondering how my word count fell so far short! Happy Spring!
Congratulations, Louise! I'm not surprised. BURY YOUR DEAD was a phenomenal book!
Congratulations!! No surprise, though, as the Bury Your Dead was stunningly good!
Well done!!!SO happy for you! Yippee, indeed!
;)
Excellent - it's my favorite (so far)! Can't wait for August!
Congratulations! As a new reader, I'm only halfway through the series (which I'm thoroughly enjoying) but now I'm more excited than ever to get to BYD!
Félicitations!...
Je suis très heureuse pour vous,vous le méritez amplement.

Bravo, c'est bien mérité. Toutes mes félicitations.
Wow, Louise! You have really hit your stride with this book. Congratulations! Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS!
Thanks, too, for what I think is your best newsletter yet. I cried at the Royal Wedding, too. So moving, so fabulous.
And if you can do it (don't have any idea how) "keep calm and carry on" as they say in the UK.
Again, YAY!
Oh, marvellous - adding my congratulations! and thank you for such great posts from Malice, giving us a real sense of being there (which I hope to do someday!)
Louise! Yippee!!! It is one of my all time favorites in the series. Can't wait for Trick of the Light!! Congratulations!!!
I really wish I could heave been there to share the excitement. What bothers me the most is that I live only fifteen minutes away from the Malice place... If I were well, I would have been there every day! And, as I told Mary Jane (Maryjane), I would feel great next to her. I am only 4'10'' ..
Now, on to reread all the Three Pines books so that A Trick of the Light follows neatly.
Once again, congratulations!!!
Four Agathas, wow! Many congratulations!!! Now I really can't wait to read Bury Your Dead.
Amazing, Louise. I can't imagine a more deserving author. I've just posted something of a tribute to you on my website:

Wow, wow, wow!!! I held "Bury Your Dead" in my hand this morning while being photographed in my latest sweater for a design submission. Hope the editor notices the title.
Hi all,
Thank you! And it was a privilege to have you with me at Malice, and on the dais at to receive the Agatha. Thanks for holding my hand. And Liz, thanks for holding the book!!! And to all of you who pre-ordered A Trick of the Light - thank you!
Congratulations Louise. 4 Agatha's in a row, and so well deserved! And now for A Trick of the Light - I can't wait.
Somehow I missed this amazing news about the Agatha until just now - I'm so delighted for you, as it's well deserved. Congrats, too, to Mary Jane Maffini - Canucks rule, yes? :-)
Fabulous, Louise! Congratulations! I've read BURY YOUR DEAD twice (so far) and couldn't agree more with this honor. What an elegance you bring to words -- and then you top it off with little winks of humor and intrigue. Perfect! Four Agathas? Let's go for forty-four!
