dsloboda 's review for:

The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl

4.0

---

I've never read Dante's 'Inferno', but after finishing this novel, I just might look into doing so. I've always had a fascination with serial killers, both real and fictional, and 'The Dante Club' didn't disappoint in that respect. In fact, it didn't disappoint in any respect. The fact that it was written by an actual Dante scholar certainly helped with the overall believability of the story...even though it's main plot is fictional.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys history, literature and/or murder mysteries...this book displays each of those subjects impeccably.
