Paromjit's Reviews > The Paris Mysteries
Three of Edgar Allan Poe's chilling mysteries are being republished here, I read all three some time ago but it was fascinating to reacquaint myself with them now, Poe is often credited with beginning the detective genre, inspiring the likes of Arthur Conan Doyle with his famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. It will not take long to read these relatively short stories, it provides a wonderful opportunity for those who have never read them to become aware of these classic tales. The three Paris mysteries are The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget and The Purloined Letter, my favourite is The Murders at the Rue Morgue, and it's likely to be the one most readers are familiar, rather macabre, and the perpetrator is well known in crime fiction. The detective investigating is Monsieur Chevalier Auguste Dupin, with his distinctly puzzle solving approach. These are engaging and descriptive tales, particularly recommended if you have never read Edgar Allan Poe, Many thanks to Pushkin Press for an ARC.
