Summary
A simmering feud between squabbling neighbours takes a dark turn when one man is discovered, dead on a remote beach. When the Circus Salmagundi sails into the logging hub of Rock Bay, north of Campbell River, Rose the Tattooed Lady finds a community gripped in fear of the elusive sasquatch.
Rumours and theories spiral out of control, but while speculation runs rampant, pragmatic Rose suspects another explanation. An accident? A bitter rivalry rooted in the Great War? Or the actions of the dead man’s widow, who speaks no English and holds secrets of her own?
With only a few days to untangle a web of lies, heartbreak, and forgery, Rose must rely on new friends and trusted companions to expose the crime, outwit the killer, and unmask the Maker of Widows.
Maker of Widows is the seventh book in the Circus Salmagundi Mysteries.
Praise for Maker of Widows
“Reading Canadian is totally my thing and even better if it's a book written and set close to where I live in Canada! Maker of Widows by Kim Bannerman is the eighth book in the Circus Salmagundi Mystery series. Rock Bay, north of Campbell River, is my favourite setting yet. It's remote. It's eerie. And it's the furthest north on Vancouver Island that the circus ships have traveled. This book had me guessing the entire time.
Rose Ivy is clever, spunky, and someone I wished was real so I could drink tea and solve mysteries with her.
I recommend The Maker of Widows and the entire Circus Salmagundi Series to mystery readers, anyone into Vancouver Island history, and anyone who appreciates fantastic BC settings.”
– Haley Healey, author of Huxley’s Island Adventure and Only on Vancouver Island
