D. Gaboldon writes best when she is writing for her male characters. I am enjoying the Lord John series and hope that there is more to come. ( )

Corre el año 1758. En plena guerra de los Siete Años, Gran Bretaña lucha junto a sus aliados en las tierras del Rin. Para lord John Grey y su hermano Hal, el campo de batalla supone una agradable tregua en la complicada situación que vive la familia y que amenaza con arruinar su honor.
Diecisiete años atrás, el padre de lord John, el duque de Pardloe, fue hallado muerto con una pistola en la mano. Tras ese supuesto suicidio, corrieron rumores que lo acusaban de ser un traidor jacobita. Ahora, los fantasmas del pasado acosan a los Grey de una forma muy misteriosa: Hal ha recibido una página de uno de los diarios de su difunto padre, pero el muchacho, que tiene sus propios secretos, se niega a seguir indagando y le ruega a su hermano que haga lo mismo. Frustrado, lord John se embarca en una complicada investigación y pide ayuda al hombre que ha sido su prisionero y confidente: el escocés jacobita James Fraser, que revelará la pieza que falta de este asombroso rompecabezas... Atrapado entre su deber y su conciencia, lord John tendrá que decidir si vale la pena arriesgar la vida a cambio del honor de su familia.

Since I stayed up until 4:30 this morning finishing this, I'd say it deserves 5 stars. I love Lord John. Lord John and the Private Matter was enjoyable, but I thought this one was even better, with more complications-family scandal, mystery, war and a new relationship keep John's story buzzing along, and showing him in these various situations really gives insight into his character that isn't there in the Outlander books, where he is eventually an important character, but still not the main one. Getting to see more of his interactions with his family, especially his brother Hal was one of the things I liked most about this book. Here's hoping Gabaldon finishes Lord John and the Scottish Prisoner soon! ( )

I know. I know. I’m a sucker for sticking with this series but I am glad that I did read this book. It was waaaaay better than the first book which bored me to tears. This one actually had Jamie in it from the Outlander series but it was just a short appearance….and it was kind of a weird encounter. I couldn’t explain it if I tried so I’ll leave it at that.

Lord John Grey is curious about what happened to his father 17 years ago. Everyone believes that the Duke of Pardloe shot himself and therefore tarnished his good name and reputation but John knows that his father did shoot himself because John had come upon his father’s body while sneaking back home one morning after he had been out all night with another local boy playing at the pond. He accidently tripped over the gun which was nowhere near his father’s body. He heard a noise and hid and saw his mother discover his father’s body. He watched as his mother, after she had gone through the shock of finding her husband dead, pick up the gun and put it in her father’s hand to make it look as if he had shot himself. He could only assume that his mother, knowing who the murderer was, was afraid that his brother would try to go after the murderer and it would be too dangerous. For his mother to risk the ruination of his father’s name, the killer must have been a powerful man.

Now, a page of his father’s journal has been left on his brother’s desk and another page sent to his mother. John wants answers and starts looking into the past.

Also, John has started a new relationship with his new step-brother, Percy Wainwright. They seem to get along well together but have to be very discreet when their regiment is sent to fight in Prussia. John, being an officer, gets his own room in a village where the army has set up camp. When another officer asks to borrow a book, John leads that officer and a German officer to his room to get it but when he opens the door, Percy is bent over with a handsome German soldier behind him and it is obvious that they are having sex. John closes the door but not fast enough. The other two soldiers had seen. Percy and the other soldier are taken into custody. If and when they are court martialed, it will mean the death of both Percy and the other soldier…not to mention the stain it will put on John and his brother Hal’s names.

At first John is angry that Percy would cheat on him and be so reckless as to have sex with another man in the middle of a war camp but then he starts feeling bad for Percy. He wonders if there is any way he can keep Percy from hanging at the end of a rope.

If you have read the Outlander books, you know that Percy shows up during the Revolutionary War so he obviously got away somehow but when John and Percy come face to face, there is tension between them. I guess if you haven’t read the Outlander books, I just spoiled a little of the book….oops.
But the book is mostly about solving the complicated murder of his father.

I enjoyed it and wanted to download the next book in the series but I have been low on funds so I have not downloaded it yet.

I continue to really enjoy John Grey and his adventures solving mysteries, this time in his own family's past. The world Gabaldon has created is full of historical tidbits that makes this a treat for those interested in the history of London and the English soldier's life but the characters really bring it to life and can immerse the reader in the world itself.

However, I grew a little tired of Percy and wanted Stephan von Namtzen to have a much larger role. Also, as much as I love Jamie in the Outlander main series, he seemed like a forced addition here and was rather unnecessary, as if added simply for fanservice.

Overall, a great second novel and I can't wait to read the rest of his series. ( )

To the best of Lord John's knowledge, stepmothers as depicted in fiction tended to be venal, evil, cunning, homicidal, and occasionally cannibalistic.
