Query: This is the worst book I have read in ages

I was puzzled at the assertion that Lord John was a "beloved" character from the Outlander stories. Frankly, I didn't feel that way. But this book is a total disappointment. It meanders around without actually telling a decent story and simply left me aggravated and disgusted and determined to not read anymore Lord John books.The Outlander stories are brilliant, beautifully written, and have developed characters, intricate plots, and historically accurate depictions. This first Lord John book must be something Diana Gabaldon got stuck in when she was tired of writing Jamie and Claire stories....and it shows.
