The best adult novel was awarded to A beautiful place to die, the debut novel by Malla Nunn.

The best young fiction book was awarded to Genius squad by Catherine Jinks.

The reader's choice award was given to the already much celebrated The tall man : death and life on Palm Island by Chloe Hooper.
