I’ve set myself the challenge of finishing the Outlander series as well as the spin off books this year, and in doing so I’ve decided to read them in chronological order including the John Grey books.
While I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Outlander novellas I was quite impressed with the beginning of the John Grey and the Hand of Devils novellas. I think because his stories have mention of James Fraser they are more entertaining to me as they pertain more to the main Outlander storylines.

Audible free, I scoured around for a bunch of her short stories that were still free. it's interesting to listen to her commentary about how different pieces wove into larger novels

Unsurprisingly, the short story is decidedly not Diana Gabaldon's format.

This is a short story featuring Lord John Grey, who is a character in Diana Gabaldon's 'Outlander' series. John sees a man, who he first thinks is Jamie Fraser, killed at his club. He decides to find out who killed him and why. I enjoyed getting to know his character better

The Lord John novellas seem even less necessary than the Outlander novellas, but since the full books in the series make reference to them, we’re in it to finish them.

It was a quick read, and provided me some more insight to the character of Lord John Grey. I really came to love him when he was introduced at Ardsmuir and then more later as the Governor of Jamaica... so I was ecstatic to find that there are all these other stories from his perspective!
Definitely grab up the Lord John books, you won't be disappointed!

A short story in the Outlander universe, and the author (once again) doesn’t miss. Entertaining, fast paced, with top-tier writing that gave me new appreciation for Lord John.
