Lord John and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon
4.0
Diana Gabaldon focuses her new series on one of Outlander's most popular characters: Lord John Grey. Returned to London from his stint at Ardsmuir (and largely cleared of the scandal that sent him there in the first place) John is patiently waiting for his regiment's new orders when he makes a rather unpleasant discovery. The Honorable Joseph Trevelyan, his young cousin's fiance, has syphilis. John must try to prevent the wedding with no scandal falling on his cousin, while also investigating the murder of a soldier also believed to be a spy.
A fun mystery set during the reign of George II, Lord John and the Private Matter follows our protagonist through working class London, brothels patronized by the rich, the gay underground, and the parlors of the gentry. Deftly weaving the personal and political mysteries, Gabaldon leaves the reader wondering til almost the very end.
