Gumshoe Awards
The Gumshoe Awards were a popular American award for forensic literary works. They were awarded (not to be confused with Mystery Inc.) from 2002 to 2008 in several categories of the American Internet Magazine Mystery Ink. Daily informed the magazine over the entire crime world of book reviews about authors, of events to readings and interviews. The editor David J. Montgomery by his ( English ) Crime Blog Crime Fiction Dossier became known one of the best weblogs in mystery genre.
The magazine " Mystery Ink" was not available and the world's first online magazine, which, as expected, was distinguished not only printed novels, but also an award for the "Best Crime Internet site " awarded as a print product. Originally only pages of authors should be awarded, this restrictive principle was abandoned in 2004. As a small tribute to the crime fiction from the European part of the "Old World" in 2005 was the introduction of a new category: "Best European crime novel" ( Best European Crime Novel).
