Reading list: Agatha Award Winners

Created by: The Butler Did It

Agatha Award winners honor the "traditional mystery." I'm just going to list the winners of "best novel" here.

In 2013 they switched from having a "best novel" for having a "best contemporary novel" and a "best historical novel" so I'll list each of those for the years where this occurs.
