The Specsavers Crime Thriller Awards 2012
On Thursday 18th October 2012 the fifth successive awards were filmed at the Grosvenor Hotel in Park Lane, London. These awards will be televised on ITV3 on Tuesday 23rd October at 9pm GMT.
The 'Daggers' which for years have been given to the best in crime fiction have now been extended to take in the best of crime fiction on the television. Now there are awards for Best Actor, Actress plus 'Daggers' for Best TV and International TV shows. A list of the winners is below but I was especially pleased, as a judge for the John Creasey/New Blood Dagger, for the award to be given to this year's recipient, Wiley Cash. It was a great evening and I hope you enjoy the awards ceremony as much as I did!
