Summary

Diana Gabaldon, number one New York Times best-selling author of the celebrated Outlander series, delivers three mesmerizing tales of war, intrigue, and espionage that feature one of her most popular characters: Lord John Grey.

In "Lord John and the Hellfire Club", Lord John glimpses a stranger in the doorway of a gentleman's club - and is stirred by a desperate entreaty to meet with him in private. It is an impulse that will lead Lord John into a maze of political treachery and a dangerous, debauched underground society.

In "Lord John and the Succubus", English soldiers fighting in Prussia are rattled by a lethal creature that appears at night. Called to investigate, Lord John soon realizes that among the spirits that haunt men, none frighten more than the specters conjured by the heart.

In "Lord John and the Haunted Soldier", Lord John is thrust into the baffling case of an exploding battlefield cannon that ultimately forces him to confront his own ghosts - and the shattering prospect that a traitor is among the ranks of His Majesty's armed forces.

editing

I love the book but I removed one star because of the editing of book one.
The narrator repeated lines on more than one occasion.
This does not occur in book two or three

Well written and narrated

the story was engrossing and I enjoyed it bringing Jamie Fraser fully in to the story. it gave great background story to the Outlander series. the narrators Scottish accent leaves a lot to be desired, however ge did well in the change between characters so you knew which characters story was being told when it changed. the audio cut or stuttered at times but otherwise well done

Did the change narrators half way through story3?

These novellas are definitely not as strong as others by ms Gabaldon. It all felt a bit ‘cobbled together’ … like maybe fulfilling contractual obligations? Male Narrator suddenly disappears mid way through the last one, replaced by a female (who was actually much better)

Research the order of listening.

The best place to find how to read these in the right order related to the full novels is to read the Lord John series article in Wikipedia.

Also beware not to spend a credit on the separate LJ and the Hellfire Club as it is the same recording as the one in here and thus a waste of a credit.

Diana Gabaldon breaks rules that a lesser author with a less loyal fan base could never get away with, but those of us who appreciate her work are just happy to get the stories.

The delivery by Jeff Woodman is criticised by some reviewers of the series, personally I think he does an excellent job.

Lord John novella

Easy to read with an interesting storyline. Familiar characters which make the books favourites of mine.

Not the full ticket

I have enjoyed the Lord John books and although I found the narrator a little grating to start with, his style has grown on me a bit. Not keen on his delivery of Jamie though.
This series I found a little lacking not least (explained by the author because the novellas were written out of synch) the inconsistency with the story line in other books for some of the characters. Not her best!

I really don't like the reader

These are great stories, spoilt by the reader, who I imagine is a American striving for an English accent. it grates on the nerves!

Expressively read; and intriguing storylines.

The individuality and depth of each character fascinates me. Diana Gabaldon excels in expressing this.
