Kaleidoscope (Joanne Kilbourn Mysteries)
National Bestseller “I love this series… This book brings [Joanne Kilbourn] back to her conscience and her past, and Bowen does it all with panache.”—Margaret Cannon,The Globe & Mail “Bowen writes beautifully in catching the tone and the minutiae of [Joanne’s] almost flawless familial existence. . . . Keeps readers turning the pages.”—Jack Batten,Toronto Star “[Gail Bowen is] one of the finest [writers] in Canada. Kaleidoscopeis the 13th Joanne Kilbourn mystery. It’s as fresh and compelling as the first one.”—Hamilton Spectator “[Bowen asks questions inKaleidoscope] that really hold the series together, and invite us to fill in past gaps and look forward to future books.”—National Post  “Bowen is a charming, social-minded writer. I admire her ability to narrate Saskatchewan – it’s beauties and barbarities. As many times as I got excited because I recognized some place from the city I was born in, I was just as ashamed for the us-versus-them tendencies Bowen relates: rich versus poor, white versus aboriginal, family versus business. And yet, the characters Bowen imagines have depth, good intentions that pave the potholed city of Regina. Sure, for marketing sake,Kaleidoscopeis a mystery – a good one too. But more so, Bowen is a pundit and socially conscious artist. The commentary and dynamic plot within this novel hold with perfect geometry and colourful ideas viewed through Bowen’s lens.”— Devin Pacholik,Global News Regina/Patches and Pages blog
