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

3.75

I remember reading this in high school during my detective reading days, and then completely forgot about it. Flash forward to today and I wanted a quick audio book so picked this one. If you like the very detailed description of crime events as in Sherlock Holmes you’ll like this. It has the craziest ending in any murder mystery I’ve ever read. I wish I could have read this back when it was published cause man I wouldn’t have shut up about it. It’s clearly the beginning of the detective genre but it is enjoyable, especially if you like Victorian detectives and their literary descendants.
