The 2009 Agatha Winner for best crime novel is The Cruelest Month by Canadian Louise Penny. Who?
I haven't read the book, but it looks like it won the award because it closely follows the Agatha Christie school of mystery writing rules (the murderer is always revealed in a dramatic scene at the end with all the suspects present).
