I kept pausing to think about what I just heard. That's the mark of a good book for me — when it makes you stop and actually reflect. The Murders in the Rue Morgue did that consistently.
Not a single chapter felt like filler. Edgar Allan Poe respects your time and delivers value throughout. Went in expecting decent, came out genuinely impressed.
There are books you finish and forget. Then there are books like The Murders in the Rue Morgue that you keep going back to mentally. This is the second kind. Brilliant.
My partner overheard me listening and ended up sitting down with me for the rest of it. We're both still talking about it. That's not nothing.
