Oh By The Way...
Blurb~
Trouble befalls Lord John Grey (fresh from minor roles in Gabaldon's bestselling Outlander novels) when he accidentally discovers that the Hon. Joseph Trevelyan, his cousin's betrothed, may have what those in 1757 termed "the pox" or "the French disease" syphilis. Before he can figure out an appropriate way to handle this delicate matter, he becomes involved in the investigation of the mysterious and grisly murder of a military colleague suspected of being a spy. Gabaldon (The Fiery Cross; Drums of Autumn; etc.) stitches these two plots together into a compelling narrative that also offers a wealth of juicy details about 18th-century London, especially its homosexual underbelly. Lord John, who reminisces about his dead lover, Hector, and the "lean, hard body" of an old flame, learns that Trevelyan may be traveling from one house of ill repute to another of a different sort: at the Lavender House, both buyers and sellers are men. Among his various trials and tribulations, Lord John must discern the identity of a mysterious figure in a green velvet dress spotted in both of these establishments and investigate the mysterious death of a similarly attired man, found with his face bashed in.

May 10, 2010 at 9:37 AMI haven't read the Lord John series yet. I've heard mixed reviews and I really wonder if I can read it without missing Jamie and Claire. I don't know. Still thinking about it. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts if you decide to give it a go.

In my TBR, I need to get it out. I know Jamie makes some appearances...I think in the 2nd book. Pretty sure it takes place during the 20 years while Claire is gone. I want to know what the heck he was doing all that time!! (Well beyond what were already told! LOL) I think i've heard somewhere that there is action...but not intense. Whatever that means.

I read the first book in this series and never picked up any of the other books. As much as I adored Jamie, I just couldn't do it. Those books are hunkin' huge?
