Oct. 28, 2009 - An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon

As I have mentioned previously, this latest addition to the series brings back many characters from Jamie and Claire's past including Dr. Rawlings. This doctor, who Claire meets after a battle, turns out to be the twin brother of the doctor who owned the medical bag and equipment that Claire has been using.

Unfortunately, there is only a brief mention of him and nothing comes of the meeting, other than Claire informing Dr. Rawlings of his brother's death. There is also an embarrassing discussion, that really serves no purpose, about a special medical tool and then he is gone.

I was hoping that Dr. Rawlings return would cause an interesting turn of events but was disappointed that he only made a drop-in appearance. Perhaps, he will return again as part of an exciting plotline before the end of the book.
