i know! you've got me bloody curious about this last book... like i want to skip all the ones in the middle and go straight for it so as to fuel my ever-present fury! XD

yesh... "lord john"... it's a series about this dude, named john (shock of shocks!) who is a dude in the british military, way back in the day, and he solves various peculiar goings-on around him. the first book, which is the only one i've read so far, involves a cross dressing corpse, a gay brothel, and a lot of staring at man packages...
