Our very own Marianne de Pierres in her guise as Marianne Delacourt has won the Davitt award for book one of her Tara Sharp series.
The Davitt Award is run by Sisters in Crime and is in its 10th year.
Tara Sharp is light hearted amusing crime series.
“Sharp Shooter is the first story featuring Tara, a sassy twenty-something with a knack of landing herself in trouble. Filled with humour, this action packed thriller set in the suburbs of Perth, is billed as targeting fans of Janet Evanovich, and is a satisfying blend of action, mystery and laughs.” aussiereviews.com
Marianne says of her Delacourt persona:
‘She has a much more optimistic, lighter view on life. She deals with the murky stuff with humour.’ For the full interview see here.
Way to go, Marianne.
Thanks Rowena! In case you’re wondering, that’s the incredible Val McDermid handing me the award. I just read her novel, Fever of the Bone. Great book!
Congratulations Marianne! Can you hear the cheers from over here in Canberra? I’ll make sure the Marianne fans in my writing group are aware of this.
