Barry Awards: Best Mystery Novel

In 1997, the editorial staff of Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine decided that since one of the magazine’s stated goals was to search out and report on the best works being published in the field of crime fiction each year, it would be a natural fit to present awards for excellence. It is named after Barry Gardner, a fan reviewer.

There was a tie in 1999.
