The Mystery of Mary Roget by Edgar Allan Poe - A Review (3 Star)

Another meticulous piece of writing that perhaps would have been rated higher, but for the strangling hold that some of the language has on the story. Once rolling this story lacks the dynamic of "Rue Morgue", and the conclusion of my edition (which I omit for spoiler reasons) left me largely dissatisfied.

However this story should be read by crime fans if only for the fact that it was a fictitious mirror of a true crime that is still unsolved.
