The Club Dumas

The Club Dumas (1993) Arturo Perez-Reverte translated by Sonia Soto (1996)

I started this book, but couldn’t shake the nagging feeling of familiarity. Then I realized that I’d seen a movie of this story. The Ninth Gate (starring Johnny Depp) was the movie of Arturo Perez-Reverte’s The Club Dumas.

So I’ve put it down for now. The movie was creepy and somewhat scary, and that’s not what I’m in the mood for.
