The first true crim story will always have a soft space in my heart. The ending is weird, which I guess should be expected as it's Poe. The beginning is just a long tangent in typical Poe fashion but I understand the ground work he was trying to lay-it just wasn't that effective for me.

I think this was like the first detective story ever written?
Anyway...the story is about a guy called C. Auguste Dupin who's in Paris and solves the mystery behind the brutal murder of two women. The witnesses heard a suspect, but nobody agrees on what language was spoken.
At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human.
The ending was surprising and I liked this one. 🕵️♂️
