3/5 ⭐
Interesante. Comparado con Los crímenes de la calle Morgue este libro se centra principalmente en dejar en evidencia a los medios de comunicación como, en parte, los que provocan un cambio de rumbo en las investigaciones y el establecer una opinión popular que sus seguidores repetirán con otros como su opinión personal. No busca tanto, siento yo, el descubrimiento del victimario como en el libro antes mencionado.

I really didn't understand what was going on for most of this story. I think this is definitely a book that needs to be read rather than listened to on the audiobook as I don't think that helped me here.

(Spoilers for "Murders In The Rue Morgue")
Of the 24 Poe short stories I have read, this one is easily the worst. Whereas "Murders In The Rue Morgue" painted a captivating picture of the crime scene, leading to an interesting confrontation at the end of the story, "The Mystery of Marie Roget" drones on as a critical analysis of three different crime scenes. Makes for an interesting use of logic and argumentation, but terrible literature.

A significant step back after 'Rue Morgue'. The ending leaves something to be desired and I feel the attention to detail that made the previous story stand out is not really present here. Really just drags on and the prose is not good enough to justify it. Also the parallels with a real tragedy are a bit much.
