something different from gabaldon
Having read all the books in her series about James and Clare, I was not expecting what I found in this book. She is an excellent writer but her subject was a bit sleazy. I would recommend the book, but it is not for everyone!

good book
I enjoy Diana's writings as they have so much history ribboned in them. Sometimes she runs on a bit and I find in hard to understand unless I have a dictionary and her handbook close at hand,but I thoroughly enjoy everything she writes.

Just Okay
Not the spectacular work you may have come to expect from Ms Gabaldon, but compared to what else is out there in historical fiction it is certainly good and entertaining if not mesmerizing,romantic or cult inspiring like her Outlander series. There is too little thrillers and mysteries out there and far too many dippy, pornographic historical romance novels. So, all in all, I'm glad this helps tip the balance. Worth reading.

Excellent "Short Story"
Throughly recommended for both the die-hard Gabaldon and the curious new comer, this book is not a part of the Outlander series per se, but takes place in the same time frame and involves some of the same characters. Familiarity with the Outlander series is not necessary to understand or enjoy the plot of the book, which revolves around an incident outside of the main Outlander narrative. This novel may be viewed as somewhat spoilerish for Voyager, as is set chronologically during or after the events of that tome. This engaging novel revolves around a (relatively) minor character in the Outlander series, but far goes far beyond the short story/character study it was originally conceived to be. The change in Gabaldon's narrative voice from the Outlander novels is impressive and enjoyable; Lord John's adorable fussiness is a delightful departure from Claire's dry practicality. The story is a tightly wound tale of suspense, convoluted, unpredictable, but never tedious. Overly verbose at times, perhaps, but that tends to be a hallmark of Gabaldon's writing.
