HTML:Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Outlander series, delivers a captivating tale of history and suspense, with a touch of the supernatural, featuring Lord John Grey. This novella, originally published as ??Lord John and the Plague of Zombies,? is now available as a standalone eBook.
Lord John Grey, a lieutenant-colonel in His Majesty??s army, arrives in Jamaica with orders to quash a slave rebellion brewing in the mountains. But a much deadlier threat lies close at hand. The governor of the island is being menaced by zombies, according to a servant. Lord John has no idea what a zombie is, but it doesn??t sound good. It sounds even worse when hands smelling of grave dirt come out of the darkness to take him by the throat. Between murder in the governor??s mansion and plantations burning in the mountains, Lord John will need the wisdom of serpents and the luck of the devil to keep the island from exploding.

Ok. I'm sure this would have been a lot more interesting had I actually read Outlander, or even watched it. Alas, I have not. I think I would quite like it based on this glimpse. A fun mystery novella with creepy zombies. ( )
2.5 stars rounded up. This one wasn't as much my thing. It seemed like all the attention was given to the tropical location and the zombies with hardly any given to character development or even history. ( )
I kinda feel bad adding this to my goodreads list because it's so short and I read the whole thing in one 4-hour shift while working at the library, but hey. ( )
