Best Nonfiction - Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks by John Curran
Best Children's/Young Adult - The Other Side of Dark by Sarah Smith
Best First Mystery Novel - The Long Quiche Goodbye by Avery Aames (We'll be celebrating this win on Thursday when Avery appears for Authors @ The Teague. Join us at 2 p.m.!)
Best Short Story - "So Much in Common" by Mary Jane Maffini, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine - Sept./Oct. 2010
They also announced a new category of Agatha Award next year, Best Historical. And, they honored Carole Nelson Douglas as Guest of Honor, and presented Janet Rudolph of Mystery Readers' International with the Poirot Award.

Thank you for posting this, Lesa!!!
I'm going to start saving my pennies to go to this next year.
I've been to a couple Bouchercons and love that con. Now time to experience Malice.
I'd LOVE love love to spend some time with you at this next year, Lesa!!! (hint hint).
You're welcome, Diana. I'm glad I could list them here.
