Entertaining with limitations.

For fans of the Outlander series, the Lord John stories are a departure. However, Gabaldon writes with as much richness and development of principal characters in the Lord John stories as she does in the Outlander series. My only caveat is that the secondary characters in the Lord John series are, for the most part, not as richly developed as in Outlander. In this story in particular, I rather dislike having the villain dropped into the story at the very end as a bit of a throwaway, and with bare motive and character development.
The narrator does a fine job switching roles, although does play the female characters a bit like an over-the-top Hermione Gingold.

Miss Gabaldon always rights an engaging story

although I am a Diana Gabaldon fan true as they come, and Lord John stories are among my favorite, this one is not. There is a lot of background information that fits into the big books. There is a little more sexually explicit content in this book that does not interest me.

Fills in some blanks

Love Diana's books. The Lord John books and the other short books delve deeper into things learned in the Outlander series. I just love all of the aha discoveries. She has lots to bring together in the 9th Outlander book and I can't wait!

Jeff Woodman is the perfect Lord John!

I can listen to this story over and over. Diana Gabaldon is brilliant and Jeff Woodman is the perfect Lord John, and well as having distinct voices for the other characters. Well done!

Lord John is great

This is a great story by itself. But I also like getting to know characters that we see in the Outlander series. I am sure you will love this story also.

Gabaldon never let's us down.

I loved learning more about Lord John, He is a very intriguing man. I enjoyed seeing into his life and what made him the man he is in the Outlander series.

Omg! So good!

I dragged my feet reading the Lord John books. But now I am enjoying them completely. They are so good and I can't wait to get to the next one. I have gained so much perspective on his character and such an appreciation for him as a man. he is a very honorable very deep character
