Twenty Crime Stories by: Karen Blake-Hall, Vicki Delany, Elizabeth Hosang, P.M. Jones, N.J. Lindquist, Rosemary McCracken, Lynne Murphy, Helen Nelson, Sue Pike, A.J. Richards, Steve Shrott, Madona Skaff, Tracy L. Ward, Sylvia Maultash Warsh, Linda Wiken. Editor: Janet Costello
The Toronto Chapter of Sisters in Crime is celebrating its twentieth anniversary with this anthology of twenty stories penned by fifteen Canadian Crime writers. Selected by a blind judging process, the stories are cozy and noir, humorous and poignant, historical and current. There are amateur sleuths and professionals-cops, private detectives and one or two you won't see coming. The protagonists are women, men and children. The settings are varied too, within Canada, the U.S., the United Kingdom, Vietnam and an unnamed exotic locale. These authors are young and young at heart-established authors and those who are being published for the first time. And while most are female, there is also one male author in this collection.
Advance Praise for The Whole She-Bang
"Go ahead, admit it. When you think of Canada, you think: polite, earnest, clean. Well the Canadian Sisters in Crime are here to set the record straight, with THE WHOLE SHE-BANG, a winning collection of crime stories. Some will make you smile. Others will make you gasp. And some will stay with you long after you turn the last page."
-Sean Chercover, author of THE TRINITY GAME
"Good news: murder is alive and well in this entertaining new Canadian mystery anthology. In The Whole She-Bang, several bright new voices join established and award-winning crime writers to serve up a variety of stories full of suspense, surprise and satisfaction. Enjoy!"
-Mary Jane Maffini, 2010 Agatha Best Short Story Award for SO MUCH IN COMMON
"The women (and one man) of the Canadian Sisters in Crime have assembled a delightfully diverse collection of stories in The Whole She-Bang. Every one of these enticingly dark tales, whether by established authors or new names, showcases the talented storytelling and the keen voices of Canadian crime writers. The stories show female characters not so much as victims, but as players in the game of justice."
-Steve Steinbock, reviewer
