Discover arguably the FIRST Detective Story ever written! https://youtu.be/sRb9B3rwQnE?si=Cb1kD... Published in 1841, Edgar Allan Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" introduced the world to Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin, the prototype for detectives to come. I've no doubt we would never have been graced with Doyle's Sherlock Holmes if it hadn't been for Poe's Dupin. Set in Paris, the tale follows Dupin's brilliant analytical mind as he unravels the mystery of two grotesque and bizarre deaths that baffle the police.
This one was an absolute JOY to perform! Slow to start, the narrator begins with a discussion of the analytic mind that sets up the story proper. An abridged version would usually begin at 00:09:25 so if you want to get stuck right in with the main narrative, then feel free to skip ahead.
