Exciting Announcement!
Killer Nashville gives a Silver Falchion Award in several categories. Notorious in Nashville is on the “Top Picks” list for the Best Cozy Award. There will be a list of “Finalists” before a winner is chosen. I’m keeping my fingers crossed! Treachery in Tuscany won this award previously.
