3.5 stars, really. I hate zombies, but really like Lord John....actually I like him better than Jaime and Claire. Heresy, I know. This was a good little fix.

I loved this from the first to the last page. I wish it could have been longer!
I enjoyed it for the most part but the end felt too sudden. It's partly because I didn't realize it included an except at the end so the progress was only 87% but I would have really liked, and was expecting to see, him discover what the zombies really were for sure or at least more about trying to figure out how to reverse it. I do love her writing style and dialouge.
With work being quiet, and my husband away, I needed something to break the quiet of my house.
This was perfect :)
Brilliantly read!

A Plague of Zombies is a fun short featuring Lord John that ties in a lot of other things from the Outlander novels. It shows Lord John's first experience in Jamaica (though he returns to England before we see him back in the New World in Voyager) and we get a glimpse of Mrs. Abernathy at Rose Hall through John's eyes.
This is a short novella sharing an adventure of Lord John Grey--a side character in the Outlander series. This particular story is a mystery that takes place on Jamaica. It was a good shorter story, but lacked a lot of the strong character appeal found in the Outlander series. Obviously, being a novella, it was limited in its character and plot development. Yet, the tale was still rich with the beauty and wildness of Jamaica. I couldn't help but make the personal connection between this book and Nancy Drew and The Haunted Showboat. The swampy, jungle atmosphere, the mystery that twists and turns, but instead of a teenage girl sleuth, the main character is a gay male officer. It was a quick, light and enjoyable read.
