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.

A believable hero with a hidden core...

As a fan of Diana Gabaldon's 'Outlander' series I was ready to enjoy this book and was not disappointed. Lord John is a believable character set in the 1700's and is backed up with lots of historical detail and an engrossing storyline. Am looking forward to the next instalment.

Too soppy

The first half of this book was full of dreadful soppy romanticism that intefered with the plot. Of course this is just my opinion, and I presume Gabaldon generally writes such romances, but I was expecting more mystery and less lovey-dovey!

Jamie's accent is all wrong.

I didn't like the voice used for Jamie, the accent is terrible for a Highlander.

the story was excellent, thrilling and intriguing.

slightly ruined by the recording however. it kept cutting out or repeating in parts. plus the narrators voice changed within the same chapter, presumably with the change in recording days. however the story was enough to keep going with it. the Scottish accent needs work

Lord John Grey series

I didn't like this book it wasn't Diana Gabaldon finest writing. It was boring and the narrator voice had no interest in the different characters.

Disappointed - do waste your money.

Having listened to the complete Outlander series and really was captivated and enjoyed it I bought this one thinking it would be as good. I’m not sure if it was the narrator voice (which I found very boring to listen to) or story line. But where as I will no doubt listen to the Outlander series again, this I struggled to complete and def would not recommend.

excellent accents but American not British words

what do you think British think of words of 200 years ago narrated as American... "Newgit" instead of Newgate and deTALE instead of detail and many more. there have been such excellent work on the accents of this narration with many language forms and intonations but no use of a British pronunciation anthology. online so available as Oxford or Cambridge gives pronunciation samples. for such a good novelist and quality writing it is a tremendous aberration.
