A review by emmylou5
The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe

3.0

Sometimes Dupin's dialogue goes on for pages and pages - it's basically Poe laying down the detective theory. So, in spite of the shallow characters and somewhat implausible stories (Oh, obviously it was an escaped orangataun!), I have to give Poe credit. No one else had really tried to write anything like that before.
