The Crime Readers' Association

CWA Authors

The CRA is dedicated to helping you to find the best crime writers and your new favourite authors. All authors listed below are members of the Crime Writers' Association - the prestigious organisation that has represented authors since 1953 and launched the careers of many writers though its Dagger awards and writing initiatives. Members of the CWA come from all areas of the genre and we have categorised them by sub-genre to help you find the type of books that you love to read and maybe even discover something new.
