With more than 10 million copies in print worldwide, New York Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series is a global phenomenon. Lord John and the Private Matter, starring one of the most popular Outlander characters, captures all the adventure and magic of the series while delivering a fresh tale that is utterly captivating.

Lord John is in a difficult spot. His cousin Olivia is engaged to marry the Honorable Joseph Trevelyan, but he has just observed something of a rather personal nature that, if confirmed, might put an end to any talk of marital bliss. Determined to investigate further, Lord John is distracted when the Crown calls for his services. A comrade in arms has been slain, and to complicate matters, the victim may have been a traitor. Now Lord John has not one, but two puzzling mysteries to solve.

It was a bit of a mystery but I'll bet mystery lovers wouldn't rate this one very high. It doesn't have the appeal of the Outlander Series. I won't finish the series.

It just couldn't engage me

Another great by a great author. I'm only subtracting a star because I don't think it would be near as much fun to hear this story without the others in the Highlander or Lord John series. WELL writen. All of her character feel like you are tring them on for size!

She has done it again

Any additional comments?

This series gives one more of a look into a character who figures prominently in the Outlander series. Lord John turns out to be a quite lovable person on the whole.

You gotta love Lord John...

Good choice for voice narrating this character. This novella had length enough to manage the large cast of characters, which I sometimes struggle with in the Lord John short stories. Compelling plot lines and wonderful detail. nice addition to Outlander universe.

Enjoyed this story immensely.

This book has a ok story plot and characters are interesting, but a story without Jamie is like a day without sunshine.

When I first realized that the Lord John books weren't narrated by Davina Porter, I was a little disappointed, but that feeling disappeared as soon as I started listening. The narration is amazing! Now I wish Jeff Woodman did the Lord John portions of the last two books in the Outlander series. He truly make makes Lord John and his stories come alive. I used to be one of the people that liked the Lord John series a little less than Outlander, but I enjoyed listening to this just as much as any book in the Claire and Jamie world. I can't give higher praise than that.

So much better in audio!
