About this listen
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

Rivetting and Heart wrenching
I love John Grey’s stories. This is the best yet! His humor, authenticity and logic are equal to the depth of his love and honour! It’s wonderful to have so much more insight into his brother Hal too. And to meet the younger Percy! A wonderful story that adds layers to the outlander characters. Wonderfully read by Woodman!

Wide ranging
This is a long and complex story, with many fascinating scenes, filled with historical titbits, woven together in a sometimes tenuous manner but with
great characters

Even better the second time around
LJG is such a great character. Diana Gabaldon such a wonderful weaver of tales and the narrator brings it all to life with his telling of the tale. Addictive

Accent Issues
This is not a review of the book, rather the read. I have not even finished listening to this yet but felt compelled to say something about the ‘pebble in my shoe’ reaction to the narration. The narration is not terrible, in that the narrator doesn’t read badly, but there are so many irritating inconsistencies with the pronunciation of words that I fear I can’t go on. Sometimes, the English accent sounds clearly put on (which it is as the narrator is American), sometimes it veers towards a South African accent but the low point was when he pronounced the word ‘passage’ as ‘parsage’ because somehow an aristocratic English accent would have a ‘long A’. No, no, no. These characters are supposed to be English, so why can’t the narrator also be English or at least someone who can do a passable English accent. Rant over.

My favourite Lord John book
Another brilliant piece by DG. I love Jeff Woodman’s Lord John. He is the voice I heard Lorf John having when I first read the actual book.

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.
