A compendium of recently published mystery news articles:
• The International Mystery Writers' Festival has announced the schedule for the plays that will be fully staged and performed during the festival June 12-22, 2008. As previously announced, the "lost" Agatha Christie play Chimneys will be performed. The other plays are The Final Toast, a Sherlock Holmes adventure by Stuart Kaminsky, The Last Appointment by Donald C. Drake, Flemming by Sam Bobrick, and Cell by Judy Klass. The audiences for the festival will help select the winner. As a measure of how highly regarded the submissions are for this event, all three Best Play nominations for the 2008 Edgar Awards were featured at last year's festival.
• As reported by Publishers Weekly, New Orleans author Bill Loehfelm was announced as the winner of the first Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award for his mystery Fresh Kills. The book, to be published by Putnam later this summer, is available for pre-order from Amazon.com.
• The New York Times reviews several new mysteries in its Sunday Book Review column somewhat inexplicably titled "But Is It Art?".
