This (relatively) brief intermezzo between Outlander novels is a must read for fans of the series.  It fills in important backstory on Fergus and sheds light on things merely hinted at in the first two Outlander novels.  It also introduces readers in more detail to a couple of otherwise minor players in the series.  If you haven't been following the books, however, I would advise you not to read this story until you have caught up through "An Echo in the Bone".  And if you aren't sure whether or not fantastic historical fiction is for you, then I would advise you to start with one of the shorter Lord John novellas (Hellfire Club) and take it from there.
