Ruso is the Hawkeye Pierce of Britannia. ( ) Got this in a Kindle Daily deal some time ago and got the rest of the series in a Big Deal a few months later. I had owned 2 & 3 in hard copy some years ago but they were disposed of when I moved house. I've finally got around to reading the full series. I found this a slow book. Whereas I liked the Romano-British setting, I found the slow pacing hard to get into and it made me not really care about the characters. I also found the plot somewhat confused and the title character not very sympathetic. An OK read. Medicus; a novel of the Roman Empire. Ruth Downie. 2006. Well, Crimereads.com let me down on this one. I just couldn’t get into it. A Roman doctor is goes to Britannia to get away from an ex-wife and family financial problems. Several prostitutes are murdered and, against his will, he gets involved in trying to find the murderer. I didn’t finish it. Hospitals weren’t established until the middle ages and this novel is in a “hospital” that is set up like a hospital today in that he deals with charts, supply rooms, orderlies and such. I could not “willingly suspend my disbelief.” ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
