The Ladies’ Killing Circle is an Ottawa-based collaborative of Canadian crime writers who published five anthologies between 1999 and 2008. The collections range from Menopause Is Murder (1999) to Going Out With a Bang (2008), with each volume earning Arthur Ellis Award nominations from the Crime Writers of Canada.
Linda Wiken was a core member of the group, which received the Grant Allen Award in 2012 for outstanding contribution to Canadian crime writing. The anthologies mix dark humor with sharp short fiction from multiple contributors.
