Brilliant follow-up to 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue'. Who killed Marie Roget, the perfumery girl? Was it a group of blackguards or a single perpetrator? Dupin investigates at his very best here. In some long analysis he's taking the press articles apart and comes up with great findings who might have committed the crime. Incredibly good research in detail and plausible facts. His perspective is unique and his thinking could be a role model for every police force all over the world. An extremel...more

Oh. My. Gosh. Seriously. For reals? Did I actually really just read that? Can anyone think this is a good book? The first part was slightly interesting, but then it just got worse and worse and worse. Every second was like:
Let me give you an example:
'If, the feet of Marie being small, those of the corpse were also small, the increase of probability that the body was that of Marie would not be an increase in a ratio merely arthimetical, but in one highly geometrical, or accumulative.'

Opening: THERE ARE few persons, even among the calmest thinkers, who have not occasionally been startled into a vague yet thrilling half-credence in the supernatural, by coincidences of so seemingly marvellous a character that, as mere coincidences, the intellect has been unable to receive them. Such sentiments- for the half-credences of which I speak have never the full force of thought- such sentiments are seldom thoroughly stifled unless by reference to...more
A story about a dragged dead body that feels like you're dragging a dead body. Based on the news report, the narrator speculates his opinions without leading anywhere. The end.

Okay, I don't really know how to rate this. It was a completely different experience from The Murders in the Rue Morgue because Dupin basically decided to not let the narrator speak and just talked endlessly about his deductions without even pausing for a trip to the loo. It was almost unreadable. And then when it gets to the very end, suddenly the editors decided not to leave the part in where he solves it, 'for reasons which we shall not specify'. WTF??

This is the second in the Auguste Dupin detective series by Poe that I am going through and sadly less well written than the original. Though the mystery follows a real life murder mystery in the U.S. that Poe has mirrored and placed in France, it sadly falls flat in writing style. I will say that like Arthur Conan Doyle, Poe seems to have shown an interest in solving real life crimes in his personal time and this story was his offer of a solution which gives some very good arguments.

As Poe mentions at the beginning of this story, he never intended on writing a follow up to the Murders in the Rue Morgue, however there was a rather shocking murder in New York, and it spurred him to try his hand at attempting to solve it.

The story itself is almost non-existent. There is some speculation, a body in the river and page after page describing possible clues. The ending of the story is not rewarding in the slightest and overall the story reads like a police report versus a story. The characters are practically vacant.

The only disappointing thing is that it does not have any conclusion to the mystery, just like the movie Zodiac (1995). Though I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and learned how to deconstruct the sensational (fake) news articles.

So. Boring. There are only two good things about this short story that are worth mentioning. First of all, because of this story Mary Rogers, who was brutally murdered in 1841, has been immortalized. Chances are, without Poe's interest in the case of her murder, and his subsequent writing of this story, Mary Rogers would have been a murdered woman lost to history. So there's that.

Poe expands his groundbreaking detective fiction into new territory which is only now in the 21st century featured on tv shows like CSI. His detective, the proto Sherlock, August Dupin presents forensic facts, then sifts through them to deduce how the crime was committed.
Poe was amazingly ahead of his time in this and it is scientifically exact and impressive. I’m just personally not a huge CSI fan, It’s a little dry compared to the emotion of motives but I was really astounded at how modern a...more

Auguste Dupin, amateur detective, is using his skills to solve the recent murder of a young woman. The culprit is unknown, the facts don't quite add up and the public is in uproar.

When the beautiful and alluring Marie Roget goes missing, her mother informs the police. Having previously disappeared before and returning after a few days very much alive, madame Roget hopes that this will be the case again. Except it is not. Marie's body is found floating in the Seine, apparently a direct result of murder. The newspapers cover the story and claim that it was a local gang behind the terrible incident. Enter C. Auguste Dupin. He disagrees and goes to Paris to reveal the truth.

This story truly shows the brilliance of Poe. Many may not know that this is based on a true case. The footnote in my volume is amazing to me. It says that the true case: the murder of a girl named Mary Cecilia Rogers remained unsolved at poe's writing of the story, occurring in New York, and had several newspaper articles written about it. Poe's story paralleled the case, following 'in minute detail the essential, while merely paralleling the inessential facts of the real murder'. It 'was compo...more

While it started out interesting, about 1/3 of the way through it got tedious, as it became clear that the entire story was just going to be a discussion between Dupin and the narrator. Even more frustrating, there's no real conclusion as you would hope to have in a mystery.
That said, since this is considered to be the first 'true crime' story it is pretty cool. In my opinion the fact that the real life New York City murder was unsolved (and still is) didn't have to necessitate that Poe not end...more

Dear Mr. Poe,
I know you probably have a lot of high school students writing to you, complaining about finding symbolism in The Raven or examining the psychology of the narrators in The Black Cat and The Tell Tale Heart. Don't worry. I'm not writing to complain about those things. In fact, I'm more than happy to do them. I just wanted to request a small thing of you: break down your paragraphs.

I usually love Poe's work but I'm not pretty sure about this... It was short but it seems like the story doesn’t have an ending; it has a lot of analysis and nothing more. That's why it is very hard to keep reading.

Dupin and his companion are on the case again, this time trying to figure out where a young Parisian girl disappeared to for the day and how she then ended up dead in the river. There is NO detective work done within this story. Dupin hears the evidence secondhand, reads some newspapers, analyzes them (in great, unnecessary detail) to the narrator, and then makes a guess at a possible circumstance for the crime.

This felt like Poe had read the reports about the murder of Mary Rogers, saw some things in them that he felt others didn't pick up on, felt himself to be intellectually superior to everyone else but was unable to convince others of the points he saw as proof of how the crime was committed and so went back to his character Dupin from The Murders in the Rue Morgue as a device to point out where everyone else (in his mind) had erred in the investigation. Dupin (re: Poe) comes off as somewhat arrog...more

This was nowhere near as good as Murders In The Rue Morgue. I found it boring, as this time around, the horrific murder descriptions and inventively unexpected conclusions were both sacrificed to an overly-detailed analysis on what kind of clothes the deceased was wearing, and how they would have torn different based on different angles and bullshit like that. I'm not saying the story was bad. I'm just saying that, for more simple-minded readers like myself, the intricate structure and inevitabl...more

I hate giving Poe 2 stars, but I didn't care too much for this story. I was so confused and bored by all the details given that at the end of the story I had no idea 'who did it'. Apparently, based on another review I read, the whole point of the story was just to show how similar the crime against Marie Roget was to another crime, then nothing was really done about it.
Poe's writing is great. Don't get me wrong. I'd be happy to read anything by him. Only that, this wasn't what I expected from a detective trilogy.

Does anyone actually talk like Dupin? The man is insufferable. Longwinded monologues are out in full force as he speaks about the trivialities of the events leading up to a woman's murder that are remarkable for both their extreme tediousness and impeccable logical consistency. Unfortunately, after a lot of build up the story fizzles out and doesn't really go anywhere. I can't recommend this, but there is running theme in the three Dupin stories (The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Mar...more
