The Beautiful Cigar Girl: Mary Rogers, Edgar Allan Poe, and the Invention of Murder by Daniel Stashower
dark
informative
sad
slow-paced
3.0

This was well written, and a very interesting story. It didn't really paint EAP in a very good light, so now I want to read a biography about him. He comes off as petty, vindictive, entitled, and immature, yet a literary genius.
Mary, on the other hand, seems like a tragic victim of the times.
