The Murders in the Rue MorgueThe story itself is is super engaging I loved having Easter eggs to look up and appreciated being brought along as an active participant in his overarching argument The singular thing I would change is that I wish evidence was brought to bear from the beginning I think there is a way the author could have placed information on the table without compromising the answer Instead Dupin releases clues in a very measured way that unfairly advantages him in questioning elements of the riddle before the reader For example I wish the nails and hair had been mentioned previously I would have had no way of knowing the truth without the intervention of Dupin However it would have afforded me the opportunity to see if I myself would have asked similar questions While I can see how this exact asymmetry of info could bolster his argument that we ignore the evidence that contradicts with our own axioms the argument may have been even effective if all of the evidence was witnessed and simply dismissed And selfishly I just really wanted a fair shot at solving the riddle haha Edgar Allen Poe
