Lord John and the Private Matter Audiobook

" I decided to read the Lord John series because I enjoy his character so much in the Outlander series. This book was well written and interesting. Full of mystery and intrigue. I have to admit that I think I was disappointed that it evolved around such a short period of time and only one specific set of circumstances are addressed. Not what I'm used to with Diana Gabaldon. However it was still entertaining and I've found out more about Lord John, which I suppose is the point in the first place. I will be reading the other Lord John novels, as well as the novellas. "

" I never finished the book, just couldn't get into it. "

" My first DG book - I found it an enjoyable and entertaining read. "

" Definately not a book to read if you can't handle "intamite" matters. "

" This is 1st in his series that goes along with the Outlander books. It was interesting getting inside LJ's head on learning more about his past, etc... "

" I enjoy this hero. will read the rest of the series and look forward to any Ms.Gabaldon may write in the future. "

" Another awesome read from Diana Gabaldon. I never was a Lord John fan, but now am warming up to him. "

" I really wanted to liked this book but . . . just couldn't get too into it. If I could give it 2.5 stars I would, however. "

" I was anxious to see if I would enjoy the Lord John books as well as the Outlander series and am happy to report that I was not disappointed. A great short story to read. "

" Historical Fiction (not science fiction) "

" Tone and style are different here from her Outlander series--but work well. I'm not sure I buy all the coincidences in the plot, but I enjoyed the deeper view of Lord John Grey than she's given (up until book #7 anyway) in the other series. "

" Was hesitant but still glad I read it. Too nosey about any of the Outlander characters not to! "

" I was introduced to Lord John Greys character in book #2 or #3 of the Outlander series [ also written by Diana Gabaldon:],and was slowly drawn to him.It was a fun adventure to read. "

" Good short story. I like the character Lord John and was not disappointed in this story, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. "

" I don't like the Lord John stories quite as much as the Jamie and Claire stories. Mostly, I think, because I care more about the characters and their fates. But one thing they have going for them is they are a much more manageable length! "

" Another series I will not read "

" Very good start of a series by Diana Gabaldon about an eighteenth century Scotsman named Lord John Grey. He is a spin-off character from her extremely popular Outlander series. Good historical fiction and a fun read. "

" I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I don't really remember but doesn't Trevelyn appear in one of the Outlander books too? "

" `This book was o.k. but I wish Diana would just focus on the next in the Outlander series. I felt like this was a "filler" book. Maybe it is because Lord John is not one of my favorite characters. "

" Delightful and engaging and plotty and bawdy and fun. A large part of my enjoyment came from the reader, whose voice acting made the characters come alive through deft use of accent. I particularly loved his Scots Nessie and his German Von Namtzen. "

" Really interesting approach to an interesting situation. "

" These are not quite as good as the Outlander series, but still have some appeal - mainly a very interesting main character. "

" An interesting and intriguing look into both male homosexuality and warfare in the 1750's....the protagonist is an intelligent and brooding military hero that I find quite refreshing. "

" Loved Lord John in the origional series but I did not like this book at all. "

" Like all the books of Gabaldon, nice easy reading. Entertaining "

" A lot of characters to follow. I knew there would be homosexuality but...... Good book but not as good as her Outlander Series. "

" The relatively short length of this novel is refreshing after the Outlander novels, each the length of two or three novels. I enjoyed the character of Lord John, although I can't forgive him his torture of Jamie Fraser. "

" Somehow, the Lord Grey series just hasn't grabbed me like Jaime and Claire.... "

" Although I've always liked and enjoyed the character of Lord John in the Outlander series, this book was way too graphic in descriptions of his sexual exploits. I had no desire to finish it. "

" Definitely not the Outlander series, but a good read none the less. "

" Loved Lord John in the origional series but I did not like this book at all. "

" Just as the author finds Lord John one of her favorite characters, I like him a lot, too. "

" 3.5 stars. A fun historical mystery. "

" A much shorter read than Gabaldon's Outlander series, I found this wasn't as gripping, either. It was still enjoyable, but I really missed the romance I'm used to from her! "

" London, 1700s, a in the closet gay military man investigates two murders. "
