The Dante Club

I am reading "The Dante Club" now. I thought the book will bring back memories of The Da Vinci code.But I am reminded more of Shankar's Anniyan.

I think anniyan is inspired by this book.In "The Dante Club" the murders are defined by the punishments in "The Divine Comedy".In Anniyan the methods are defined by "GARUDA PURANA".

The Dante club has patrolman Rey .Anniyan had Prakash Raj.Rey picks up scraps of paper with Italian letters and tries to make sense.In the tamil movie Prakash Raj arrives at various possible combinations with sanskrit letters.Too many similarities.

The book is a page turner.Not in the league of "Snow" though .But good timepass.
