About this listen

 With more than 10 million copies in print worldwide, New York Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series is a global phenomenon. Lord John and the Private Matter, starring one of the most popular Outlander characters, captures all the adventure and magic of the series while delivering a fresh tale that is utterly captivating.

Lord John is in a difficult spot. His cousin Olivia is engaged to marry the Honorable Joseph Trevelyan, but he has just observed something of a rather personal nature that, if confirmed, might put an end to any talk of marital bliss. Determined to investigate further, Lord John is distracted when the Crown calls for his services. A comrade in arms has been slain, and to complicate matters, the victim may have been a traitor. Now Lord John has not one, but two puzzling mysteries to solve.

Excellent writing

The story was not bad. But Gabaldon's strength lies in her ability to access all five senses in a scene while engaging the brain with the fabulous historical tidbits she weaves in. Top-notch writing.

Skillful performance

One gets carried away by the story imagining the many diverse characters all expertly portrayed by narrator Jeff Woodman. It sounds as if a whole acting company is playing the various roles.
