mysteries and thrillers in which the victim high-key sucks. rest in pieces, shitheads! love to hate 'em, we will not miss them. disclaimer: while the list creator is a certified hater, in no way is the list creator or pagebound condoning or encouraging violence, even in situations when that person does, in fact, suck.

Mystery novels (and maybe a few thrillers) that have a theme of Christmas or other winter holidays, or an overall wintery theme. Please give suggestions!

The Agatha Awards are given each year at the Malice Domestic conference for the best traditional or cozy mystery novel.

In 2011 the Best Historical Novel category was introduced, and in 2013 the Best Novel category was discontinued in favor of the Best Contemporary Novel category. All three categories are included in this list.
