A DIVINE FURY is a finalist for the 2025 Ngaio Marsh Award
The Cesare Aldo historical thriller A DIVINE FURY is one of seven novels chosen as finalists for the 2025 Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Novel.
This is the second year in succession one of D. V. Bishop’s books has been a finalist for the prize; last year Ritual of Fire went on to win the 2024 Best Novel accolade.
“I’m stoked, chuffed and delighted that A Divine Fury is a finalist for the Ngaio Marsh Award,’ says D. V. Bishop. “It’s an honour to be alongside so many amazing novels!”
