Russo, Medical doctor for the 20th is sent to Britain after a long stint in Africa. Being unable to let bad situations be, he ends up buying a near dead slave whom, once brought back to health is totally useless. To be honest, I liked the wits of Russo, which reminded me of Lindsey Davis’s Falco but I could not stand the complaints and stupidity of Tula, the slave; hopefully, she will improve in the next books.
