The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl

From the inside cover, I’ve ascertained that this book is about literary geniuses who’ve come together to form the Dante Club, thus giving the book its academic perspective, especially since they will most likely have intelligent conversations and discuss literary books/terms. It’s set in Boston during 1865 in which a series of murders breaks out, which provides the mystery aspect of the novel as the members of this club attempt to solve the case.
