This is an audio-enhanced version (with music and sound effects) of the third of Edgar Allan Poe's early detective stories featuring his classic character C. Auguste Dupin. It is a celebrated tale of intrigue, blackmail, and mystery as only the master could tell it and a forerunner to the creation of the character of Sherlock Holmes.

When a member of the royal house has a sensitive document stolen, the police department turns in desperation to C. Auguste Dupin, amateur sleuth and renowned logician. Can the document be recovered before the blackmailer wins the day? Can Dupin solve the crime that has baffled all of the Parisian police force?

Find out in this classic tale of mystery and intrigue!

I received this audio book for free in exchange for my honest review. Since it's a Poe story I won't even bother with talking about the writing. The narration is excellent. If you like Poe, you will love this retelling of his classic story.

This is a short stort. This should be in a boxset. If you like this genre I think you'll like this. It sounds like a radio show. I received a free copy of this in exchange for a review. I think its a good little mystery. Kevin Theis does a great job narrating this book.

The Purloined Letter is a classic Poe mystery story. This edition brings some multi-media sound effects to the narration. I enjoyed the story but found the narrator, Kevin Theis, to be annoying. He spoke so fast and high pitched, that with the long run on sentences used by Poe, he was often hard to follow. He seemed like he had to rush through the story. Overall, not my favorite rendition of this classic mystery.

It’s Edgar Allen Poe. If you don’t have at least one version, your library is lacking. This one is well narrated. Get it and enjoy it. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher
