Reviews

“Kathleen Hamilton is a veritable genius at putting these puzzles together. The clues are all witty and with a Canadian view, which is a godsend to those of us who have to figure out the American clues in regular crossword puzzles. Let’s face it, we may both be part of North America, but our cultures are different, our spelling and viewpoints are different, and that can make a huge difference in deciphering clues… The people of Canada just keep wanting more and more from Kathleen… This is the perfect gift for any Canadian crossword addict, and will provide hours of fun and escape from the day to day world.”- Naomi de Bruyn, Linear Reflections
