The Mystery Of Marie Rogêt - by Edgar Allan Poe

Author: Edgar Allan Poe / Year: 1809-1849  / Genre:Mystery

The Mystery of Marie Rogêt", often subtitled A Sequel to "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe written in 1842. This is the first murder mystery based on the details of a real crime. It first appeared in Snowden's Ladies' Companion in three installments, November and December 1842 and February 1843.

*Note-No one knew crime better than Poe, and The Mystery of Marie stands as the first true crime novel. While the names have been changed, Marie Roget takes its story from the murder of Mary Cecilia Rogers, and follows detective C. Auguste Dupin as he gathers evidence in an attempt to solve the murder mystery.
