A review by davramlocke
The Mystery of Mary Rogers by Rick Geary

3.0

This is a quick read; it probably wouldn't take anyone more than an hour of focused time. It tells the story of a famous murder in Edgar Allen Poe's time, and indeed he is in the book and even wrote his own story about the supposed death of Mary Rogers. The graphic novel gives a little info, but no conclusions because the case was sadly never satisfactorily solved. The style is decent, but almost too comical for its source material, which is actually pretty dark. The language is maybe a little too simplistic as well, as though it was written for a younger audience, though a younger audience certainly shouldn't be exposed to tales of failed abortions and gang rape murders.

Anyway, an interesting read and does boast some factual information.
