The Bony Blithe Awards began in 2012 with the goal of celebrating the best Canadian light mysteries. There was only one award given out each year, which was for Best Mystery Novel . There would be multiple nominations for each award, with just one winner.
The goal of the award was not just to focus on the best mystery, but also books which brought some fun and entertainment to the table. So the Bony Blithe awards were focused more on light mysteries such as cozy mysteries.
Here is the complete list of Bony Blithe award winners and nominees:
