Ellen Nehr Award

The Ellen Nehr Award was established by the American Crime Writers League to show our appreciation for mystery reviewers who demonstrate a solid knowledge of the field and give an unbiased and informed criticism of each work. We also wish to recognize the reviewers who sign their names to their reviews, allowing both the reader and the author to know the person who is commenting on the work. The award will be presented at the Sunday Picnic Lunch.
