thecristoforo 's review for:

The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl
4.0

Take the movie Seven, where instead of the 7 deadly sins the killer bases his targets off of punishments of the circles of hell from the newly translated cantos of Dante's Divine Comedy into English. Then enter Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and other major 19th century Bostonian figures to solve the crime set in the aftermath of the Civil War.
