Today's compendium of recently published mystery news articles:
• Neely Tucker, staff writer for the Washington Post (free registration required), writes an entertaining article on Mannix, a popular detective show from the 70s that has not (yet) made it to DVD—at least not officially. (MBN note: Visit Mysteries on TV to shop for over 100 detective, amateur sleuth, private investigator, and suspense television mystery series that are now available or coming soon to DVD.)
• The Mystery Writers of America, in a press release, have announced that two beacons of the literary community sharing one passion for the crime-writing genre will be honored with the Raven Award for 2008: Kate's Mystery Books and The Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Kate Mattes of Kate's Mystery Books is being honored with the Raven due to her tireless efforts in advancing the genre of mystery fiction.
