The Murders in the Rue Morgue
by
This is one of the original detective stories, eventually inspiring the likes of Sherlock Holmes.
It was not a bad story. I didn't see coming who would be the murderer at the end!
However the beginning, the prologue, was way too long. It was describing the way one might analyse a person but it took like 11 pages to do it!
Once it got into the actual story, it was quicker to get through. Although, the sentence structure and certain words are not like what we use today and that made it slightly hard to fully understand everything that was happening.
