rebeccatc 's review for:

Lord John and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon

3.0

---

This is a book featuring a side character from the Outlander series, Lord John Grey, as the protagonist involved in trying to avoid a family scandal and solve the murder of a military spy at the same time. I enjoyed the 18th century London setting, since none of the Outlander novels are set in London. And I like John Grey -- he is smart, witty, loyal and resourceful, and he approaches life with a sense of humor. In fact, he's a lot like Claire. The mystery itself took too long to unfold though and I lost interest.
