I'm a sucker for books set in ancient Rome, and in particular, mysteries. So I've been anticipating Medicus and the Disappearing Dancing Girls, because it promises to deliver exactly what I like: the delicious, twisted knot of a murder set as microcosm against the larger intrigue of the corrupt Roman empire. R.S. Downie doesn't disappoint.

Ruso is an officer in the Twentieth Legion, which is stationed in Roman Britain--in other words, the middle of nowhere. He's a doctor who has inherited massive debt from his father, and as a result, has taken the army job for the steady pay. Money is a serious problem for Ruso and figures largely in this story: for some reason, despite all attempts to be responsible, money seems to elude his grasp at every turn.
