About this listen

The epic, multivolume Outlander saga is the starting point for a brilliant new series that begins with the novel Lord John and the Private Matter. Filled with intrigue and mystery and starring one of the most popular Outlander characters, Lord John Grey, this fresh new tale is utterly captivating. 

In a richly drawn 18th-century London, Scottish exile Lord John faces a difficult situation. 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.

As a long time lover of Diana Gabaldons Outlander books I love reading/hearing more of the life of one of my favourite secondary characters Lord John. Great story and very good narrator. If the voices are not right for the characters gender/different stations etc I cannot continue listening to an audiobook. Will definitely buy the rest of the Lord John audiobooks if Jeff Woodman or someone just as accomplished is narrating.
Recommended.

Good Narrator

Not as good as Outlander main books but if like me you need a taste to keep you hanging in there while you wait for book 9 of the main series to be released, it will do. Narration could be better with a little more acting like they achieve in the main books but you do get used to it.

Not bad

with those other reviewers who don't rate Jeff Woodman's narration. We cannot answer the reviews but at least we can make a balancing comment in our own review.

I would like to be able to read this book aloud as well as he does it. Nobody here knows whether the accent which sounds maybe Transatlantic in 2020 is or is not spot on for the times and social circles described in this story.

He makes a good fist of a range of voices, male and female, of different classes und mit einem Anflug von deutscher Aussprache. The Irish is a bit plastic paddy, but I have heard worse. The common London accent was very authentic.

I thought Davina would be a hard act to follow but I am actually very happy with Jeff's product.

As far as the story is concerned, as always you have something unique, intriguing and exquisitely researched by Diana Gabaldon.

A real five star title.

I beg to differ
