Edgar Allan Poe wrote three short stories featuring the "method" of C. August Dupin an "analyst" and puzzle-solver adept also at solving crimes that the police are too inadequate to "disentangle." Dupin is the father of all fictional detectives. He was a detective before the word detective had been coined. For this reason, it is worthwhile for mystery book fans to read Poe's Dupin tales. This volume is a simple re-print of the original stories: • Murders in the Rue Morgue • The Mystery of Marie Roget • The Purloined Letter

What I mean by this is, that the solution is precluded by hints and enough different facts to give the impr...
I’ve enjoyed other Edgar Allan Poe stories and poems, and I had high hopes for this collection of stories featuring Poe’s character Auguste Dupin, an investigator that does the police’s work for them. Perhaps I’m missing something here but I just found the narrative to be long-winded and not particu...
What a difference 39 years makes! I read this book in approximately 1975 (I think I was 3 :D) and loved it. If there would have been goth at that time period, I would have been part of it. I read all of scary, sad, occult books I could get my hands on and read all of Poe's works. Now when I pic...
