My least favorite so far

A short story, I know, but of all the Gabaldon books so far, this is my least favorite. Story ok, not great.

I would have given this 5 stars except

Except the story was way too short and disjointed. The whole time you're trying to figure out what was before. A bit disappointed.

Debauchery and Honor in 18th Century London

A historical short story, beautifully written and read. This is an interesting footnote for an important character, Lord John, in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. A biting class commentary.

great!

I loved it, couldn't believe how enthralled I was. I am starting the next LJG now.

An Exceptional Book in an Amazing Series!

The Outlander series has captured my attention like no other. It is intriguing, engaging, and well written. It is so easy to let go and see characters play out their stories in my mind. Jeff Woodman is the perfect narrator for this rich tapestry. His insightful interpretations of the characters leads to an immersive listening experience. Perfection! “AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY”

Fine little add on

My favorite Lord John story so far has been the zombie one! But I like being immersed in that world, even if the stories aren’t epic.

A Great Mystery

I've never been able to get into Diana Gabaldon's <i>Outlander</i>, not being much historical romances, but I have to say that I enjoy the mysteries Gabaldon has created around Major Lord John Grey. This character is interesting for many reasons not the least of which is he is a gay man in 18th century England where they are even less welcoming of homosexuality than they are today. The mystery is engaging and well-read by Jeff Woodman. I've already read Gabaldon's follow-up to this short story, <i>Lord John and the Private Matter</i>, which was not as good as this story, but still worth reading. I look forward to further adventures with Lord John.

Diana Does It Again!!!

Everything Diana Gabaldon writes is a must read!!!
She is a really really good story teller. I can't get enough of her work and I am
not alone!!!!

to Short

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

This was a too quick little story. I could follow the back ground only because I have listened to the whole Outlander series

Has Lord John and the Hellfire Club turned you off from other books in this genre?

NO

What three words best describe Jeff Woodman’s voice?

rich, expressive and clear

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Probably not because it would be too short. If would be fine as a segment in another movie.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this story, but it was too short. I am use to longer Diana books and less than 90 minutes barely got the kitchen cleaned.

Quick, engaging mystery

I am always impressed with Ms. Gabaldone's work, and this was certainly up to snuff! My favorite part was... well, literally everything. It is such a short piece that there isn't time for unexciting parts to happen! The narrator's take on voices and inflection was superb.
