Edgar Allan Poe

Poe's Detective Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe is the undisputed originator of the Detective story. His brilliant, imaginative sleuth C. Auguste Dupin, created before the word "detective" had been coined, set the stage for eccentric, logic wielding investigators like Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. This audio collection of Poe's three Dupin stories also includes one non-Dupin detective tale. The story titles are: The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, The Purloined Letter, and Thou Art the Man.
