2004 Edgar Nominations announced
The Mystery Writers of America has announced the nominations for the Edgar Allan Poe Awards 2004, honoring the best in mystery fiction, non-fiction, television and film published or produced in 2003. The Edgar awards banquet will be held on April 29, 2004 in New York City.
Best Novel

OUT, Natsuo Kirino

MAISIE DOBBS, Jacqueline Winspear
NOTE: LOST LIGHT by Michael Connelly was originally one of the nominees. Mr. Connelly, who is currently the president of MWA, felt that it was inappropriate, given this title and responsibility, for him to have a book nominated for an Edgar and asked that his book be withdrawn from contention. The MWA Board reluctantly agreed and decided that because the book was eligible, but withdrawn, there would not be another book added, so there are only four books nominated for Best Novel.
