About the Macavity Awards

Book categories only (Best Mystery Novel, Best First Mystery, Best Nonfiction/Critical, Sue Feder Historical Mystery), transcribed from Mystery Readers International's Macavity Awards page. Short story category skipped. Year is the award year MRI lists; books were published the year before. Category names drift on the page (Best First Mystery Novel, Best Mystery Nonfiction, Best Mystery-Related Nonfiction/Critical, Sue Feder Historical Mystery Award); they are normalized here. The winner is the first-listed name in each category heading; the rest are nominees. 2009's Declan Hughes nominee is listed as The Dying Breed (UK) / The Price of Blood (US); the UK title is kept.
