Lord John and the Succubus (Lord John Grey, #1.5) by Diana Gabaldon

Lord John's stories seem to be more like Nancy Drew mysteries or something, than the Outlander ones. But this one was a bit stronger. It felt like there was a little bit of character development rather than *just* solving a mystery.
