"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." Steven Steinbock

"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
