About this listen
A scandal is threatening to engulf the popular spa town of Aquae Sulis (modern-day Bath). The wife of Ruso's best friend, Valens, has been found dead in the sacred hot spring, stabbed through the heart. Fearing the wrath of the goddess and the ruin of the tourist trade, the temple officials are keen to cover up what's happened. But the dead woman's father is demanding justice, and he's accusing Valens of murder.
If Valens turns up to face trial, he will risk execution. If he doesn't, he'll lose his children.
Ruso and Tilla do their best to help, but it's difficult to get anyone - even Valens himself - to reveal what really happened. Could Ruso's friend really be guilty as charged?

An improvement.
Much closer to the first books in storyline and momentum.
Tilla is still stupid and a liability. She seems unable to learn even basic understanding and Ruso has the patience of a saint. He spends his time trying to sort things out for a lot of selfish people. I wish he would be more apreciated.

Gone native
Ruso, no longer working in the legions, has gone native living a northern tribal life with wife and servants. A good follow on book where his friendship with colleague Valance is frustrated and frustrating. I can see how it all comes together in the end after going through the book a second time ...and I still don't understand how Valance can stay so cool and alouf given the punishment of the time if found guilty.
