I started with A Desperate Fortune and then went on to re-read The Rose Garden. It sent me down a Kearsley re-read rabbit hole. The story itself is a self-contained little mystery (all the novellas in the anthology are linked together by a cursed watch – La Sirene) and some fabulous development of the romance between Hugh and Mary. Hugh and Mary are most prominently featured but there are 2 other couples who appear to one degree or another as well – Anna and Edmund from The Firebird and Daniel and Eva from The Rose Garden (reviewed here by Sunita). The POV character is Hugh, who was the male lead in A Desperate Fortune. Earlier this year, I read The Deadly Hours – well 2 of the stories in it anyway – which featured Weapon of Choice by Susanna Kearsley.
