pickThree 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.
pickA 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.
My thriftbooks.com order arrived! I love buying used books from them. Their used copies are always in good or better condition and only for a few bucks a pop! Free shipping in the US after $10, too. 😎 #usedbooks #bookmail #bookhaul #dianagabaldon #lordjohn
pickI started the day with 3 books in progress. Pandemic party animal that I am, I will finish them all by midnight.
First done, the second book of the Lord John series, which was a perfect pleasure listen: Gabaldon‘s great writing, a fun mystery with a dash of sexy times, an excellent narrator, my favorite redcoat, and a few glimpses of Jamie Freaking Fraser.
Ugly audio cover, so enjoy this photo of perfectly cast David Berry instead.😍
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I‘m finally starting this, and I‘m so excited. 😂 I love Lord John so much. 💖 #lordjohnandtheprivatematter #lordjohngrey #dianagabaldon #outlanderverse
“To the best of Lord John Grey‘s knowledge, stepmothers in fiction tended to be venal, evil, cunning, homicidal, and occasionally cannibalistic.”
Gotta love Diana Gabaldon 🤣
