1.0

The second in the C. Auguste Dupin short story collection, this one focus on the mysterious death of one Marie Roget. You'd think this is another detective story, but rather it's a really long rationalization explaining what really happened to Marie. It's like if you watched a movie and you spent an hour listening to Sherlock Holmes explain every conceivable possibility and rationalization, you'd fall asleep.
