In 2024 she was the joint recipient, with James Lee Burke, of the Crime Writers’ Association’s Diamond Dagger award for an outstanding lifetime’s contribution to the crime and mystery fiction genre, and her memoir, Getting Away with Murder, won the True Crime Book of the Year at the Capital Crime Fingerprint Awards in 2025.
