Edgar Allan Poe
Regarded by many as the world's first detective story, Edgar Allan Poe here creates C. Auguste Dupin, the proto-Sherlock Holmes, investigating the murder of two women and arriving at a startling - and horrifying - conclusion.
The Murders in the Rue Morgue was first published in 1841 in Graham's Magazine and is the first of three stories to center around Dupin, who here explains his theory of "ratiocination", where a precise, logical, and unemotional examination of the facts will lead to the solution of a mystery...no matter how bizarre the conclusion.
Poe's Dupin had a profound impact on later writers, and his theory of detection is clearly reflected in Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series, as well as the works of Agatha Christie.
This edition also features an essay by Poe's contemporary and friend N. P. Willis entitled "The Death of Edgar A. Poe".

This is the first time I have listened/read anything by Edgar Allan Poe and this author is not for me.
It's a quick listen, with the story padded out by an introduction to Poe that I felt was unnecessary.
The narration is enthusiastic and exuberant.
Enjoyable narration but book is not for me

The story itself is a murder mystery which is solved by observation, reasoning and deductions [a la Sherlock Holmes].
I enjoyed the newspaper article and the story but what fell short, was the narration. It sounds as if the narrator is announcing a sports game and trying to engender excitement as his voice is at 10 the whole time -- there is no modulation, no quiet moments, no build ups, no inflections, nothing, just at 10. It reminded me of the sports announcer from the soccer games who shouts: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!" but does it for the entire game. The narrator attempted to do accents/character voices but sometimes his accent would disappear -- but given that he was shouting the entire time, it didn't really matter.
