reviewed on + 33 more book reviews


And interesting mystery that involves Lord John Grey from the Outlander series. The story takes place after Jamie Fraser's imprisonment and before Lord John begins to take care of Willie (Jamie's illegitimate son).

The mystery begins with the murder of a British soldier and missing documents. Lord John Grey is swept into discovering what happened. All of the story could greatly affect the Grey household as Grey's cousin is set to wed a wealthy nobleman that Grey is sure has the pox. In trying to discover if the man has indeed got syphilis - the whole mystery unravels.

A very entertaining story with well plotted scenes. Each character adds to the story and all are well developed. The plot thickens with the addition of whoever is wearing the green velvet dress.
