Publisher's Summary
Diana Gabaldon, the number one New York Times best-selling author of the Outlander saga, brings back one of her most compelling characters: Lord John Grey.
Here Gabaldon weaves together the strands of Lord John's secret and public lives - a shattering family mystery, a love affair with potentially disastrous consequences, and a war that stretches from the Old World to the New. It's been 17 years since Lord John's father, the duke of Pardloe, was found dead, a pistol in his hand and accusations of his role as a Jacobite agent staining forever a family's honor. Now unlaid ghosts from the past are stirring.
Lord John's brother has mysteriously received a page of their late father's missing diary - and John is convinced that someone is taunting the Grey family with secrets from the grave. So he turns to the only man he can trust: the Scottish Jacobite James Fraser. But war, a forbidden affair, and Fraser's own secrets will complicate Lord John's quest - until James Fraser yields the missing piece of an astounding puzzle and Lord John must decide whether his family's honor is worth his life.

Oh Lord John, your such a dandy.
I am reading this series as a continuation from the outlander series and so far I have not been disappointed. The series is not as riveting as outlander etc, however still very entertaining. I just love the way Diana writes and I especially liked the creative development of the charactor Lord John. Witty, outlandish use of adjectives, risky and humorous.
Would I read another in the series?..yes.
Did I start reading it only because of the Scottish highlander?…yes.
Would I recommend it as a independent read?…no

Not worth it
The Lord John series is disappointing. The quality of the recording is patchy, dropping in and out, often hard to hear. The series are numbered oddly and seem to be incorrectly numbered. I listened to them in the advertised order and they did not follow on, leaving me confused and underwhelmed. The narration is hard to listen to after listening to Davina Porter narrate the Outlander series.
