The Murders In The Rue Morgue | Edgar Allan Poe Stories

"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is the foundational story of the modern detective genre, introducing the brilliant amateur sleuth C. Auguste Dupin. When a mother and daughter are found brutally murdered inside a room locked from the within, the Paris police are baffled by the crime's impossible nature and extreme violence. Using a revolutionary method of "ratiocination"—pure, cold logic—Dupin analyzes clues the police dismiss, ultimately deducing the shocking and bizarre truth: the killer was not human, but an escaped orangutan. For older teens, this story is a masterclass in deductive reasoning and the origins of mystery fiction, but parents and teachers should be aware of its graphic descriptions of violence, making it unsuitable for younger readers.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
