I’m not a fan of mystery novels and this is the main reason for my 3 star rating. With that being said, it was nice seeing Lord John in a deeper way. Would I read it again? No.

The author says this was intended as a short story or side plot to the Outlander series and it certainly feels that way - it doesn't really stand on its own as a novel. Fortunately I've read the Outlander series so I found it to be an interesting little mystery.

Lord John was never my favourite Outlander character, but I think I like him a bit more now that I understand him better.

Not as engrossing as the outlander series for sure. But interesting mystery and a nice glimpse into lord John's life.

Personally I love the main Outlander books more but I do love Lord John as a character. Perhaps I am far enough into the series that I'm used to him as an older man that seeing him back as a young, rakish twenty-something is such a departure from how I currently see him that it was a bit strange. Also, mysteries and intrigues are not always my chosen format so I don't necessarily enjoy them on their own. My mind just does not work that way so I have a hard time following all the intrigues, ins-and-outs, and the whodunnits. But, after all that, it was a fun book that at least did solve one piece of a puzzle for me into Lord John's past.
