Jamie Fraser and Lord John Grey work together to prevent a Jacobite uprising in Ireland.

Interesting characters and story but a few historical inaccuracies.

Three mystery novellas featuring Lord John, the third of which was new to me. Although they are meant to be stand-alones, there are quite a few references which would go over the head of someone unfamiliar with either the other Lord John novels and stories or the wider Outlander universe.

A page from a missing volume of his father's journals turns up, and Lord John starts to find anomalies in the accepted version of his father's death nearly 20 years previously.

Some definite retconning going on here, but still a good yarn.

Catching a glimpse in the toilets at his club, Lord John Grey realises his cousin's fiance has the pox. How can he arrange for her to be released from the engagement without causing a scandal? He also gets involved in an attempt to trace the theft of troop requisition papers. The two situations are unexpectedly connected.

Good intrigue against a fascinating historical background.

This is one of those short stories that I‘m sure I would have loved more if it had been stretched into a full novel. Having read most of the full-length Lord John mysteries, & needing a ‘Club‘ book for #52BookClub challenge, I decided to go back to this 0.5 installment.

The usual great writing from Gabaldon, an intriguing nefarious club & a bit of murder mystery, this was fun but just too short.

Still, I ❤️ Lord John, so it‘s a pick.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Scochrane26 I like the Lord John books, too. 2y
