jfcremos 's review for:

The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl
4.0

A really interesting and mostly fast-paced murder mystery, with lots of discussion and descriptions of Dante's Inferno. I found it a bit stodgy at times, but that may have been unavoidable as the protagonists are members of the Boston intelligentsia in the 19th century (three are Harvard professors). I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes historical mysteries and watching historical figures interact with each other.
