The Traitor Game wins the Branford Boase award

I could have been rubbing shoulders with the great and the good again, at the Branford Boase award event last night. Instead I was sitting in the Swedish sunshine, but never mind that. I’m pleased to find that another of my sudden witchy thoughts last week proved well founded, with B R Collins winning with The Traitor Game.

Having been too rushed to blog about the shortlist when it turned up, I’d half forgotten who was on it, until I went and had another look. And it’s really such a marvellous selection of first novels that I couldn’t have said which one I preferred to win, but as people may remember, I did like The Traitor Game very much.
