About this audiobook
Poe's story, inspired by the unsolved murder of Mary Cecilia Rogers in New York, contains many parallels to that crime and was viewed at the time by many as a convincing solution to the American case.

Reviews for The Mystery of Marie Roget
37 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5One star to the narrator, 10 stars to E. A. Poe.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Personally I enjoy Dupin. I see without any doubt that Conan Doyle was influenced by Poe. Though I have to say that even if Poe had carried on with Dupin for a full series, unless he took the time to develop the friendship between Dupin his companion, Sherlock still would have been ore palatable to the public in general. Poe has a very "artistic pen" that most people would have and still would need a dictionary to understand.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Read this as part of my BA in English.With Poe's reputation, I felt disappointed with this, though parts did impress me. The concept is clever, but too much rambling prose prevented me from really liking this.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Fails to live up to Murders in the Rue Morgue.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Like its predecessor Murders in the Rue Morgue, this is a well thought through analysis and another clear precursor of Sherlock Holmes. However, it cannot be recommended as a story, as there is no real plot as such; rather it is simply a slightly overlong exercise in logical thinking and reasoning. It is based on a true case in America.
