The Agatha Awards honor the "traditional mystery" and were awarded this weekend at Malice Domestic. I have not read any of these though I have read and very much enjoyed Faithful Unto Death by Stephanie Jaye Evans which was entered in the Best First Novel category. I personally would rank that as one of the best books I read and reviewed in months.
