Lord John and the Private Matter (Lord John Grey, #1)

Lord John and the Private Matter  - Jeff Woodman, Diana Gabaldon I finally got around to picking up Lord John's books while reading my way through A Breath of Snow and Ashes in the Outlander Series. Through the Outlander series I've grown to enjoy Lord John. He is extremely loyal, honorable and has done numerous things for the Frasers that I would deem above and beyond. So I was excited to read a book focused on him.

I felt like he was missing from this book. I'm finding it tough to explain what I mean by this. Only when he was reflecting on Ardsmuir or thinking of Jamie did I feel like I was reading about Lord John. The rest of the book could have substituted any high ranking soldier and not changed overmuch.

I wasn't overly thrilled with the mystery, it seemed fairly average though it was entertaining.

I'm definitely going to fangirl it up and keep reading them, especially because I'm looking forward to The Scottish Prisoner, but overall not impressed.

Audio Notes
Jeff Woodman was an average narrator - he was pleasant enough to listen to but I probably won't be searching him out as a narrator in the future.
