Publisher's Summary:
"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human.
Writing the first true detective in fiction, Poe's Dupin originated many literary conventions which would be used in future fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" and "The Purloined Letter".

The Alpha Detective Story
The Murders in the Rue Morgue is a very small short story that was originally published in Grahamâs Magazine back in 1841. You could scarcely find a simpler plot. Two women are violently murdered in their own apartment by a killer whose entrance and escape seem impossible. Several male voices are heard during the time of the murder, one of which speaks in a language that none of the witnesses can identify. C. Auguste Dupin and his associate travel to the murder scene and solve the mystery.
Dupin is regarded as the first detective (despite not being an actual detective) in the history of literature and The Murders in the Rue Morgue the first detective story. Itâs a very simple story but Edger Allen Poe has such a deft skill as a writer that it feels perfectly crafted even if the solution is revealed almost immediately after the mystery is presented. Poe would use Dupin in several more stories and he is likely the inspiration from some of literatures most acclaimed sleuths including Sherlock Holmes who first appeared in 1887.
I really enjoyed the story and it can be easily read in its entirety in a single sitting over a coffee drink. If you donât like it, well, you wonât have spent much time from your life.
Classic
The book holds its own after all these years. Edgar Allen Poe is a genius. The story is magical and engaging
Poor contrast, difficult reading.
Just one question: my copy has a very poor contrast, making reading dificult.
Other e-books OK. I think the same is occuring with THE MYSTERY OF MARIE ROGET.
It looks like there is a bakground color, instead of black ink over a white sheet.
Any help ?
The original that others followed.
Poe's character, Auguste Dupin, is the original ecentric detective. Conan Doyle copied him in his writings of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle used the same writing style, story set-ups and even copied some of Poe's plots. The Dupin stories
were written forty years before Holmes.
Five Stars
Good novel.
