The Mystery of Marie Rogêt

Sequence of events: 1.) Murders in the Rue Morgue by Iron Maiden pops up on my playlist. 2.) Proceeded to Wikipedia for inspiration on which un-read Poe stories to add to my spooky season read list. 3.) Found out this was a sequel to the Rue Morgue story. 4.) Possibly did a ‘I cannot contain my excitement' lap around the room. 5.) Read the quick short in one sitting. Based on a true story, Dupin tries to solve the murder of a perfume saleswoman who is found floating in the Seine. Was it a group of no-good scoundrels, someone close to the victim, or just a random criminal act? Fear not! Dupin is on the case. An entertaining, albeit methodical detective story. Considered to be some of the first ever written. Poe wrote another Dupin short called: [b:The Purloined Letter 278854 The Purloined Letter (C. Auguste Dupin, #3) Edgar Allan Poe https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1338446224l/278854.SY75.jpg 270472]Check out the wiki article of C. Auguste Dupin to learn more about the character and Poe's contribution to the detective genre. It's fascinating.
