I read this for the Lady Darby story, and I don't regret it, but it wasn't as good as the full books are, so you'd probably be fine skipping it in the series honestly. But it wasn't bad. The writing in the Kearsley story was probably the most intriguing to me, though not wonderful, but I likely would have enjoyed it more if I had read the previous stories involving those characters. The Trent one was a little tiresome to me, it could be partly the length, but it didn't tempt me to try the rest of the series. And I've enjoyed the St Cyr series by Harris, but this short story was pretty average IMO. (

Uneven for me, but I really liked the Lady of Ashes story (https://amzn.to/3hVVEq9) and I was glad to read all of them since together they resolve the curse and overarching mystery.
3.5 stars

Four stories, each by a different author, and that move through the history of a certain cursed watch. Because each story jumps forward in time by decades or centuries, there are no recurring characters or plot elements so there's no chance of contradiction between stories. Thus, it should have worked better - and perhaps it did, if you are a romance fan. I expected a mystery. (

I borrowed this anthology for Susanna Kearsley’s novella Weapon of Choice, which is set in 1733 and features a couple of characters from A Desperate Fortune (along with a couple of couples from a couple of her other novels). It has a different sort of plot from her other stories -- there’s no newly developing romance, and no contemporary storyline -- but it was interesting to see Hugh’s marriage from his perspective.

I glanced at the first pages of the other novellas and the only one which caught my attention enough to read was Siren’s Call by C.S. Harris, a murder mystery set during WWII.

"It strikes! one, two,
Three, four... Enough, enough, dear watch,
Thy pulse hath beat enough. Now sleep and rest;
Would thou could'st make the time to do so too;
I'll wind thee up no more."
—Ben Jonson, The Staple of News

For Diana Gabaldon
who, over dinner, when I told her
what I'd seen Hugh doing,
smiled, and said,
"That sounds like a novella."
And encouraged me to write it.
