"Charming... Four interconnected visits to a world of danger, wit, beauty and genuine romance. Treat yourself!"--ANNE PERRY, internationally bestselling authorA stellar line-up of historical mystery novelists weaves the tale of a priceless and cursed gold watch as it passes through time wreaking havoc from one owner to another. As the hours and years pass, the characters are irrevocably linked by fate, each playing a key role in breaking the curse and destroying the watch once and for all.From 1733 Italy to Edinburgh in 1831 to a series of chilling murders in 1870 London, and a lethal game of revenge decades later, the watch touches lives with misfortune, until it comes into the reach of one young woman who might be able to stop it for good.As much a book of curses as a book of destinies, The Deadly Hours is a breathtaking anthology rich with atmosphere and intrigue that encapsulates the exquisite destruction, heartbreak, and redemption wrought by fate.This outstanding collaboration of authors includes: Susanna Kearsley - New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of compelling time slip fiction.C.S. Harris - USA Today bestselling author of the Sebastian St. Cyr Regency mystery series.Anna Lee Huber - award-winning author of the national bestselling Lady Darby Mysteries.Christine Trent - author of the Lady of Ashes Victorian mystery series.More praise for The Deadly Hours: "A fantastic read."--Tasha Alexander, New York Times bestselling author"What a treat!"--Victoria Thompson, USA Today bestselling author

My ninth 5⭐️ read for 2020 was a quartet of short stories interwoven around a pocket watch. Seamless and engrossing.

What did I do with the digital credits I‘ve been saving on Amazon? I got some books for free!! Amazon has a lot of kindle books on sale so I had to walk away before I spent any real money 😆

I may not be the target audience for this one: I‘ve read two books by Kearsley and none by the other authors. I still enjoyed the way the cursed watch made its way through time in these connected stories.

Full review (of each story) on my blog: https://sprainedbrain.blog/2020/08/30/review-the-deadly-hours-anthology/

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Lucky 13th book done for #NetGalleyReviewathon

And I FINALLY finished my #Bookspin for August! 😂

It‘s not often that I enjoy interrelated short stories this much.
I originally wanted to read this because Huber and Harris are two of my favorite mystery writers, and they delivered here. But Kearsley and Trent did not disappoint either.
Interwoven stories centering around a cursed golden timepiece spanning from 1733 to 1944. Nicely drawn characters for short stories and great flow/connection between the time periods/stories. 5/5⭐️
