From the international bestselling author of the Outlander series, the terrific new novel featuring the ever-popular Lord John.

1760. Jamie Fraser is a paroled prisoner-of-war in the remote Lake District. Close enough to the son he cannot claim as his own, his quiet existence is interrupted first by dreams of his lost wife, then by the appearance of Tobias Quinn, an erstwhile comrade from the Rising.

Lord John Grey - aristocrat, soldier, sometime spy - is in possession of papers which reveal a damning case of corruption and murder against a British officer. But the documents also hint at a far more dangerous conspiracy.

Soon Lord John and Jamie are unwilling companions on the road to Ireland, a country whose castles hold dreadful secrets, and where the bones of the dead are hidden, in an epic story of treachery - and scores that can only be settled in blood.

Guess you'll have to read the book to find out what "it" was :)

I've enjoyed the Lord John Grey novels, this one most of all as Grey and Jamie Fraser make a fine double act, and the latter features extensively in this tale.

if you're invested in the Outlander series, this is absolutely worth a look - and if you know the story from TV only then this offers an exciting outing for Grey and Fraser set during Season Three but not at all referenced on screen.

Recommended.

I love all the Outlander and associated books. This one fills in some of the gaps in Jamie's years at Hellwater. I recommend this book to all Outlander lovers.

This is a good read, if you've finished all the Outlander books and still waiting for Diana Gabaldon to finish her latest novel, this is a good start to introduce you to John Grey and still keep in touch with Jamie Fraser. You hear from Jamie's perspective as well as John Grey's. Before this novel I was not very fond of John Grey, but after reading this I have gone on to read his other novels, although in backward order.

Another good book from Diana Gabaldon

If you’re having withdrawal symptoms from the Outlander books you could try reading these Lord John novels; they feature the exploits of Lord John Grey - and this one actually has Jamies as one of the main characters. They can all be read as standalone novels.

I enjoyed this book but, personally, I’d rather DG stopped writing all these other ‘connected’ books and just got on with giving us the next instalment in the Jamies & Claire saga; it’s been too long!!

A good addition to the Outlander series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 November 2017

I found this book immensely sad. Two essentially lonely men, who have a history of a friendship ruined by a reckless act, together try to thwart yet another Jacobite rebellion. Jamie, for whom the 1745 rebellion was one rebellion too many and as a result of which has lost everything except his life, is dragged from the Lake District, where he is an indentured servant, to London to assist Lord John Grey unravel the mystery of a doggerel poem written in Irish Gaelic. En route their relationship is mended. Claire does not feature in this book, but her memory follows Jamie and feeds many of his decisions.

What I liked were the truths, mainly spoken by Jamie, about the realities of this relationship and his ability to withdraw from his surroundings, at the end of the book made explicit when he is constantly to be found in the library reading the ultimate book about loneliness, Robinson Crusoe.

As another reviewer has said, the book underpins the otherwise somewhat puzzling relationship they have in "Voyager", but as a story it stands on its own, although there are references to other books in the series.

I have read the acknowledgements in this and other Outlander books and have great admiration for the amount of research and expert advice Miss Gabaldon has had. I've said before in other reviews that Claire's English narration has largely seemed authentic, and I have little doubt about the details of Highland life in the 18th century. So among all this I am puzzled that neither the author nor the editor seem to have researched how British aristocratic titles work. Baronets are not "Lord"' they are Sir Fred Smith, their wives Lady Smith, their daughters do not take the honorific "Lady", merely Miss Smith, although baronets are hereditary, unlike Knights. The Duke of Cumberland, as a royal Duke, would be His Royal Highness, not His Grace. I assume Lord John's brother's sudden elevation to a dukedom is to explain why he is Lord John, instead of merely the Hon John, younger son of a Viscount, which is how he was introduced.

I continue to enjoy the Outlander books, faintly thankful that none of the subsequent books are quite as harrowing as Outlander 1, although often only it's a close run thing!

Word bee.

Exellent part of the Outlander series or read alone, a good storyline.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 May 2019

Enjoyed this from start to finish. If reading the Outlander series and you want to keep the timeline, it may be best to read Dragonfly in Amber, then go to A Fugitive Green (novella, which is now pub. in Seven Stone to Stand or Fall) ,
then The Scottish Prisoner is set after Culloden while James Fraser is in service (so part way through Voyager, really, making it difficult to choose whether to read Voyager before or after or even around this book. Maybe reading it after Voyager expands what he has been through and what family means to him. Either way this gives the main characters' back stories as they take place. On Its own it is good and rereadable later but within the whole set it's much better.

Really enjoyed this book. Love all the Outlander books and have read and re-read them many times. The characters are so real you feel as if you know them personally and really care what happens to them. The book explores the relationship between Jamie and Lord John and how it develops. A lot of the story is told from Jamie’s perspective and much as I love Claire and want her and Jamie to be together again it was interesting to have the story told from Jamie’s point of view and hear his voice. You feel so desperately sorry for Jamie and all the terrible things he has been through but there is some compensation for him in his growing relationship with William. I enjoyed getting to know character of Lord John better as well. I really felt that I was in the 18th century together with Lord John and Jamie! Very highly recommended.

Brilliant book. I've read the Outlander series of books (and seen the tv series as far as they've got) but this explains so much more about Jamie and John's relationship and, maybe I've just not read the other stuff properly, but for the first time it struck me how tragic and awful those 20 years were for Jamie - yes I know Claire missed him too but she knew he was dead - he couldn't be anything else 200 years in the past but for him? 20 years of wondering if she'd even managed to return through the stones and to her own time? Sheeesh ...

Now this made into a series with the same actors would be pretty damn fine splendid.
