I like Donna Andrews Meg Langslow mysteries, so I'm glad to see her on this list.
A book that I really liked, her first, Murder with Peacocks, made me laugh a lot.
Thank you for posting this, I hadn't realised that the results were out. The Louise Penny is the only one I've read and I thought it was excellent, so I'm delighted she's won. And death of a Cozy Writer is a great title and sounds like it could be great. Time to check the library catalogue!
My favorite Donna Andrews was Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon. Very funny!
