I really really wanted to like this book, and I was totally enthralled by the first half of it. I love a good mystery where the lead character is not a police investigator or FBI detective. Here, we have Elle Bramasol who is a true crime writer who is elicited by a big Hollywood director named Eliot Kingman to write his story after he ends up in prison for the murder of one of his researchers.

With ‘The Dionysian Alliance’ Jack Rinella has blended sex, magic, mystery, myth and death in a manner which is as educational as it is entertaining. As a committed proponent of the benefits of entheogenic spiritual enlightenment (and steadfast opponent of religious dogmatism), I must say I found many aspects of this novel especially interesting … I guess it would be fair to say Mr. Rinella was preaching to the converted with me.

Picture it. Sicily. 1866. Bandits. Cholera. Mafia. Corruption. Dead Prostitutes.
No, this isn’t a story being told by Sophia Petrillo. It’s the setting and basis for Susan Anderson’s first book, Death of a Serpent.
