I finished off the Lord John books by Diana Gabaldon with...
Lord John and the Hand of Devils, The Custom of the Army and The Scottish Prisoner.
The Hand of Devils is a trilogy of short stories. The Custom of the Army is a novella and the Scottish Prisoner is a novel.
These books are pure entertainment and if you haven't read any of the Outlander or Lord John books, I would read them in their proper order. The proper order is as follows:
Outlander (big novel), Dragonfly in Amber (big novel), Voyager (big novel), Lord John and the Hellfire Club (Lord John and the Hand of Devils), Lord John and the Private Matter (novel), Lord John and the Succubus (Lord John and the Hand of Devils), Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade (novel), Lord John and the Haunted Soldier (Lord John and the Hand of Devils), The Custom of the Army (novella), The Scottish Prisoner (novel), Plague of Zombies (Down in These Strange Streets ed George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois), Drums of Autumn (big novel), The Fiery Cross (big novel), The Breath of Snow and Ashes (big novel), An Echo in the Bone (big novel), Written in my Own Heart's Blood (not yet published bug novel), A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows (novella), The Space Between (The Mad Scientist's Guide to World Domination ed John Joseph Adams), Virgins (Warriors ed by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois)

Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade
Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon
This is book 2 in the Lord John series. It follows the timeline of the previous book and gives us more insight to Lord John Grey. We get to see his inner torment to be true to himself and his family without revealing his homosexuality to the world.
Again, I continue to enjoy these books. It looks like there are a couple of Lord John books that are not part of this series but were published before the next book in the series. I think I will go with publication dates and read them in that order and see where it gets me.

Lord John and the Private Matter
Lord John and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon
This is Book 1 in Gabaldon's Lord John series. This started out as a off-shoot novella alongside the Outlander series. The novella became a novel and then it became a series in it's own right.
It isn't quite as engaging as the Outlander series but I wish that I had read this book in it's proper place with the Outlander series. It's weird to go back in time, so to speak, and try to remember what was going on in the Outlander books at the time of this book.
I enjoyed the historical information about the LGTB community at the time and I will keep reading these books and see where they take me.
