The Mystery of Marie Roget (annotated)

This classic detective mystery story by Edgar Allan Poe is a sequel to "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." Poe's detective character C. Auguste Dupin and his assistant, the unnamed narrator, undertake the unsolved murder of Marie Rog?t in Paris. The body of Rog?t, a perfume shop employee, is found in the Seine, and the press takes a keen interest in the mystery. Dupin remarks that the newspapers "create a sensation ... [rather] than to further the cause of truth". Even so, he uses the newspaper reports to get into the mind of the murderer.
