Product Description:
Desire leaves a man destroyed ... A young girl's curiosity reveals secrets better left hidden ... Jealousy drives a woman mad ... An obsession with numbers precipitates a deadly revenge ... Ambition leads to a curious exchange ... An uncanny likeness changes two lives forever ... The hand of fate lies buried in the past ...
An unforgettable novel in seventeen parts by some of the most prestigious crime writers working today.
One bracelet, seventeen charms ...
From nineteenth-century Georgia, where the bracelet is forged in fire, to wartime Leeds, the seedy underside of London's Soho, a Manhattan taxi, the frozen cliffs of Nova Scotia, and back to Georgia, each writer weaves a gripping story of murder, betrayal, and intrigue.

The opening sentence in this book was so disgusting, I didn't read another word. Fortunately, I didn't spend a penny for the book and could just return it the library for the subsequent poor, unsuspecting soul.

I really wanted to give this one a try, but where there was potential, this novel failed. I hate to say it, but while I thought the premise was extremely creative...just imagine the story behind a charm bracelet and it's charms, the writing (different authors) fell flat. I really wanted to finish this book..and had to recheck it out of the library several times before I could finish it. Maybe the problem was that there were different authors, and not just one author with a vision. While this works with other authors, like those that collaborated on the Naked Came the Manatee novel, it didn't for these. I would recommend that if you are so moved to read it, make sure you get it from your local library.

There's a reason you can buy this book for a penny. Although the book concept was a good one (using a charm bracelet to bind the stories together), it didn't pan out. I didn't enjoy this book at all, and was positively disgusted by some of the stories.

A so-so short story collection that is loosely tied together with a charm that crops up in each story. The voices, pacing, themes are really too disparate to make this anything more than an intro to some of the authors or just a plain short story collection. Wasn't interesting enough to propel me through it.

The dark, haunting cover foreshadows the disturbing malevolence that seeps from its pages. The voices of these collaborating authors are sinister, and every author is well-known in the mystery/suspense genre. But before you drop $21.95 for this book, be aware that these are not stories of murder and intrigue, but of death and misery. They are short stories with odd characters, titillating content, and startling revelations or actions. These stories reach the depths of obsession, insanity, and sin to show the deep, dark, even perverse sides of their characters, chilling readers to the core.
The stories take place in America and England at various times in history, and each chapter and each life is linked to a certain charm. The very first story -- an erotic tale -- shows how a bracelet is cursed. It goes on from there....
_Like a Charm_ is for readers who like their stories dark, explicit, and sometimes bizarre.
