A review by zbmorgan
The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe

4.0

Yes, this is considered one of the first works of detective fiction, and it is Poe, so descriiptions of the victims are pretty gory, especially considering when it was written. The real surprise here though is that Poe was doing something new with his murderer that wasn't even breaking the mold because no mold had been invented yet. Dupin is not as interesting as Holmes, but with time, he may have been.
