The Paris Mysteries, Deluxe Edition

The Paris Mysteries, Deluxe Edition, from  is three of Edgar Allen Poe’s detective stories: “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”, “The Mystery of Marie Roget” and “The Purloined Letter”.  We follow Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin and the narrator through all 3 tales.  M. Dupin has a crafty mind for details and clarifies evidence the rest of the characters cannot put together.  Poe has such a way of telling a mystery that I don’t mind and do not notice that we never learn the narrator’s name.  I am so glad these three tales are in the same book as they flow from one to the next.  

I would recommend these tales to anyone who needs a great mystery and a few that are not cookie cutter mysteries.  Thank you for this dark read and the great cover!

I received this book to read from NetGalley and Pushkin Press and Pushkin Vertigo.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.  I have not read much Poe so I was very excited to dive in.  I liked each individual story and I think that was the best way to dive into Poe and learn about his style of writing.

My thoughts
Would I recommend it? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes,
This isn't the first time I've ever read anything by Edgar Allen Poe, in fact every once in a while I do read something of his, but to tell the truth his not one of my favorite authors to read. But as soon as I saw this I knew I wanted to read it because I never knew he wrote mysteries, I knew he wrote poem's and horror but not mysteries. So, this was a chance at reading something new from him and surprisingly I liked it way better than I thought I would, was they the greatest detective mysteries I've ever read no, but they were still very good and was a lot of different from his normal stuff that I read from him. Would I read this again? Yes because these mysteries are an  example of the first detective stories in English. With that said I want to say think you to NetGalley as well as the publisher for letting me read and review them exchange for my honest opinion.

I had read these three stories many years ago. It was great reading them again!  I love the style of writing and the dialogue of this era, and I had remembered the plot, but not the ambiance that reading the story in its entirety can bring,  It appears to be a well made keepsake of some of our favorite classics.

Stunning darkish detective tales, Three macabre and confounding mysteries

I adore Edgar Allen Poe and loved these three stories. Although I've read better collections, these three are the backbones of so many great thriller/mystery stories out today. Mr.Poe was where it all started. I recommend this collection for any mystery fan, even if you're not a hardcore Poe reader.

A terrific macabre mysterious group of Edgar Allen Poe’s mysteries.I enjoyed each chilling story he is truly the master A writer that should’ve read from poems to stories a collection I will be sharing with friends.#net galley#pushkinpress

I recieved a review copy via NetGalley. This didn't affect my final review.

I love gothic literature, especially of Lovecraft and Poe, of which I have a large collection. The Paris Mysteries contains three of the greatest works of E.A. Poe: The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget, The Purloined Letter (whose protagonist is Auguste Dupin).
The edition is very accurate and excellent if you want to start reading Poe or you want a collection that contains some of his important works in a beautiful edition (even the eye wants its part!). I believe the choice to include these stories is excellent.

I absolutely recommend it!

The Paris Mysteries by Edgar Allen Poe, Still just as good as ever. These three mysteries starring Dupin are well worth reading. The Murders in the Rue Morgue', 'The Mystery of Marie Rogêt' and 'The Purloined Letter'.

I read these 3 tales a long while ago as part of another compilation of stories when I was just starting to get into the horror genre. Now Pushkin Vertigo are about to reprint, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to re-read! Although I wouldn't describe this as horror so much, more mystery, I still found I enjoyed these as much as I did the first time.

The prose is very flowery and descriptive, and those who enjoy an easy read may struggle with this, as is Poe's writing style. I imagine if you're after something "easier" you wouldn't naturally gravitate towards Poe's work! I found these chilling and thrilling (aye!) and if for any reason you've read Lovecraft but haven't read Poe, this would be a good introduction to his work (more so if you're not used to Gothic horror and want to dip your toes in. There are much darker tales in his repertoire. Yes, really.)

I can also imagine the cover for this when it's published will be BEAUTIFUL! (I can't comment as I haven't seen it, but it's certainly promising).

4 out of 5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

'Three macabre and confounding mysteries for the first and greatest of detectives, Auguste Dupin'

I'm not normally a fan of detective novels but I can't turn down Edgar Allan Poe. I knew his words would be educated and descriptive. 

This is where it all began. He's wonderful. He's inspired so my mystery writers and you can see why.

I recommend this to anyone that likes detective mysteries and short stories. I will definitely picking this up in physical form. Will be a great addition to my collection.

It is the first time I read Edgar Allan Poe. And if he is the first person to write detective stories, then I am amazed that the same template has been followed by Sherlock Holmes and Poirot and even some of our Indian detectives like Byomkesh Bakshi. There are three stories in this book. I liked the first The Murder at Rue Morgue and the last one. The English does sound a bit dated, but there are sufficient notes in to understand the full context. It was a quick read and I could finish it in a day.

I had read these mysteries "The Murders in the Rue Morgue”, “The Mystery of Marie Roget” and “The Purloined Letter" a long time ago so it was lovely to read them again as a set of 3. 

It was lovely to dip back into his writing once again and re read the Paris Mysteries.  Poe is a superb Author whos stories stay wioth you long after you have finished reading them. This would be a super book in print to keep.

Thanks to Netgalley and Pushkin Press for the ARC Digital Copy. (My review is my own opinion)

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book netgalley 🤗
I love gothic literature and i liked each individual story of this classic and amazing book. 
It has interesting writing, and interesting detective work and lovely cover.

Always nice to re-read Edgar Allan Poe, the master of dark detective, I would say. And even though I got this particular edition from NetGalley for an honest feedback, I should admit I am tempted to buy the book just for the cover. it is beautiful!
Reading stories again is very exciting and even though you more or less know what is going to happen, you just can't stop enjoying brilliant language of Poe, the father of all detectives in a way. I love how dark and macabre the atmosphere is and.. if you have never read Poe before, this is a great selection to start with!

Enjoyed so much about this blurb. I love an thing touched by EAP and this is no exception. Taking his classic and showcasing it in such a wonderful manner. Top notch.

You really can't go wrong with these three stories from Poe - a great jumping off point for any reader to get beyond the Raven, the Tell-Tale Heart and the Cask of Amontillado

The Paris Mysteries was an intriguing, macabre set of stories that reminded me why I fell in love with reading Poe. Short, yet no less impactful the Deluxe Edition offers something for all that enjoy a dark atmosphere in their tales. The stories flow well from one to the next and the intricate complexities involved in each case are enough to spark an interest and maintain it from beginning to end. This is the perfect book for any who love Poe's writing and would like to explore it more.

What can be said about Poe's writing that hasn't been said already? He is the original, the first, the master of mysteries and suspense. The first Poe story I ever read was The Tell Tale Heart. . .I was hooked! I love the twisted, dark minds of his characters and how he doesn't fluff and stuff.  .  .meaning he doesn't ramble on and on with descriptions, as so many of today's writers seem to do. 

If you've never read Edgar Allen Poe, this book is a wonderful introduction to the master storyteller. If you love Poe's work this is a gorgeous book to add to your library.

A lovely collection of gothic mysteries by Poe. I love 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' and have read it before, and it was a treat to read the other two. Definitely recommend these dark reads.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher Pushkin for this book.

Edgar Allan Poe was the reason I got into reading mysteries.  Yes I can say I read Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys - which I did and I graduated to Agatha Christie - another fave, that I did as well, but it wasn't until Jr High when I read Edgar Allan Poe - the Raven that I fell in love with true grit mysteries.  I loved reading his books, therefore my 5 stars are probably biased.  This is a quick read, short stories  just macabre enough to make Poe enthusiasts happy.  

I can tell you that I will buy the book when it publishes, so that I also have it in book format and not just electronically.

If you love Poe as much as I do, then I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I've never read Poe before so was pleasantly surprised to enjoy all three of the stories within. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for an ARC egalley.

Review 
Three mysteries in one book following the great detective Auguste Dupin. ‘The Murders in the Rue Morgue’, ‘The Mystery of Marie Rogêt’ and ‘The Purloined Letter’. 

Wonderful classic, beautifully written and despite these being macabre stories, detailed in such a gentle way. If you like the classics, you’ll love this. You will enjoy the English language. 

I rate this book 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thanks 
Thank you to the author(!) and publishers Pushkin Press for an advanced copy of this ebook in exchange for an independent review.

Fantastic.  Can never go wrong with Poe.  Can easily read them over and over and still have to sleep with the lihts on!

Wonderful to read Poe again, and this is put together beautifully. Thank you for giving me the chance to read.

Amazing. Spooky. Spectacular. Classic Edgar Allan Poe. Simply brilliant stories.

Thank you Netgalley for.the free copy

Classic Poe.....
Classic Poe. Three tales of the macabre featuring the talented Auguste Dupin, detective. Dupin investigates three baffling crimes in his own inimitable fashion - each a puzzling mystery, each with a logical solution provided by Dupin. Enjoyable reading.

No one can write horror/thriller/mystery better than Edgar Allan Poe.  NO ONE!  I read these stories in a room with the light dimmed and rain outside my windows.  The only thing that could have made them better is if Vincent Price had been reading them to me!

This Book contains three short stories by the author that take place in Paris. They are Murder in the Rue Morgue; The Mystery of Marie Roget; and The Purloined Letter. The first is by far the best of the three, but all of them are good. This is the first time that I have read any of the works of the author other than having to memorize his poem "The Raven" in junior high.

I received a free Kindle copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher with the understanding that I would post a review on Net Galley, Goodreads, Amazon and my nonfiction book review blog. I also posted it to my Facebook  page.

Three of Edgar Allan Poe's chilling mysteries are being republished here, I read all three some time ago but it was fascinating to reacquaint myself with them now, Poe is often credited with beginning the detective genre, inspiring the likes of Arthur Conan Doyle with inspiring his famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. It will not take long to read these relatively short stories, it provides a wonderful opportunity for those who have never read them to become aware of these classic tales. The three Paris mysteries are The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget and The Purloined Letter, my favourite is The Murders at the Rue Morgue, and it's likely to be the one most readers are familiar, rather macabre, and the perpetrator is well known in crime fiction. The detective investigating is Monsieur Chevalier Auguste Dupin, with his distinctly puzzle solving approach. These are engaging and descriptive tales, particularly recommended if you have never read Edgar Allan Poe, Many thanks to Pushkin Press for an ARC.

The ultimate gift for Edgar Allan Poe's fans, The Paris Mysteries is the collection of the the writer's three stories starring the infamous detective Sir Auguste Dupin. 

Highly intelligent, extremely perceptive and incredibly knowledgeable, Sir Auguste Dupin roams the streets of Paris along with his trusted friend. Together they solve one dark mystery after the other - all while exuding witticism and entertaining the reader. 

For those not familiar with the history of the Parisian detective, Dupin preceded Sherlock Holmes. So, for fans of Detectives, what better than to get a dive into the original thing?

Highly recommended, this is an excellent reading choice for all fans of detective stories and mysteries.

i love paris. i love mysteries. i love edgar allen poe. i will read all of the things about him and i'm so glad i read this one!!!

I’ve known of Edgar Allan Poe for years, even before I had ever read any of his tales. His presence looms over the Gothic genre and not many are able to reach the same level of beauty and darkness. I had read once that Poe was the originator of the detective genre but had never thought to read these stories for myself until Pushkin Press’ new edition came across my computer. Thanks to Pushkin Press and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

In The Paris Mysteries are collected the three stories that created the detective genre. You will recognize it immediately. The reclusive genius, his best friend who is just a tad slower, the mumbling detective who tries his best, the outlandish crimes. It feels like coming home, in a way. Since we have been spoiled by countless Sherlock Holmes adaptations over the past few years, I hopefully can’t be blamed for occasionally mistaking Auguste Dupin for Holmes himself. The ease with which these stories flow is amazing when you consider that they are the first. Many authors aim for this, but they also have many examples to follow and imitate. Poe was the first and his talent shines through each of the three stories.

First is ‘The Murders of the Rue Morgue’, in which we are first introduced to Dupon and his companion. They live in joint repose, walking the streets at night and meeting no one. Until, that is, a gruesome and unexplainable murder is committed. I can’t lie, when we got to the resolution I had to put the book down for a second. It was outrageous in the most hilarious, apt way. ‘The Mystery of Marie Roget’, the second story, is fascinating in a completely different way. It is based on the real case of Mary Rogers which took place in the USA, and is moved to Paris in the story. Poe used writing the story to try and understand the mystery of Mary Rogers’ disappearance and death himself. The real crime itself still goes unsolved to this day. The third story is ‘The Purloined Letter’ in which, as the title suggests, a letter is stolen from a high-ranked royal. Elements of it will appear very familiar to Sherlockians, and there was even a film adaptation in which Holmes solves this case.

Poe’s writing in these stories is brilliant, in the way Arthur Conan Doyle’s is, in that he manages to not make it boring when someone rambles on for page after page about minute details. It is still gripping, still interesting to see just where Poe and Dupin will take us. The setting of Paris is also lovely, as it feels appropriately melancholy and beautiful for a Poe story. Furthermore, these stories don’t cut down on the gore of the detective genre. There are slashed throats, blood stains and drownings. Something interesting I read is that the three stories allow Poe to explore three different settings; the streets in the first story, the outdoors in the second, and the private sphere in the third. It’s fascinating to think of the stories from this perspective, as each leads to a different kind of deduction and a different kind of answer. The only potential downside to reading The Paris Mysteries is that the stories were so central to the genre that their elements are now almost too familiar. Thankfully, the first story has an enormous twist that will carry you through all the other elements.

Fans of Poe will need little convincing to give this collection a try. They are great stories and beautifully presented by Pushkin Press in this edition. If the detective genre is your thing, you have to read the one who started it all!

I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

If you love a good mystery, then this is the book for you. I absolutely could not put it down! It was just SO GOOD. 
I loved how all the stories related to one another in some way. It was wonderful. 

Thank you kindly to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this review copy.

This is a fun and chilling read for anyone who is (and who isn’t) a fan of one of the greatest gothic masters of our time, Mr. Edgar Allan Poe.

I love the atmospheric feel that an Edgar Allan Poe story brings to any mystery. This is an intriguing collection of three of Poe’s finest. I love this edition. I first read Poe in elementary school and have loved his writing ever since. This is a wonderful way to reread some of his best. 
Highly recommended.

The Paris Mysteries by Edgar Allen Poe is a collection of 3 Auguste Dupin stories. First is the famed Murders in the Rue Morgue where Lady L'Espanaye and her daughter are found brutally murdered in their home. The hero of the story comes in using his powers of deductive reasoning to solve the crime, despite the odd evidence and unreliable witness accounts of the crime. Next is The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, based on a true story of a murder that took place in New York. Here Dupin reaches his conclusions of the guilty party by way of the media accounts of the crime. Lastly is The Purloined Letter, in which a letter is taken from a Royal apartment and is used in a political blackmail scheme. Here Dupin uses deduction and craftiness in order to find the missing letter. 

These stories are all classics of Gothic and mystery fiction. Well written and atmospheric, though I must admit it did take me a bit to get used to the pacing and writing style of telling and not showing, the opposite of how modern writers craft their stories. If you're a fan of Poe and classic mystery, give this one a try!

I would like to thank Netgalley and Puskin Press for a gifted copy of this collection in exchange for my honest review.

Edgar Allen Poe is famous for creating early detective Augusta Dupin, purportedly a model and inspiration for Sherlock Holmes. This is a collection of 3 Poe stories that are set in Paris.  Perhaps it will bring Poe to new readers or remind others why he is considered a classic.

I've read several of Edgar Allan Poe's works but never any of his mysteries. I was intrigued by the fact that they were an inspiration for   Sherlock Holmes.

The mysteries were carefully plotted with so many small facts that went into how they were solved. I enjoyed how atmospheric they were and the character Dupin was definitely an intriguing person.

"Three macabre and confounding mysteries for the first and greatest of detectives, Auguste Dupin.

An apartment on the rue Morgue turned into a charnel house; the corpse of a shopgirl dragged from the Seine; a high-stakes game of political blackmail - three mysteries that have enthralled the whole of Paris, and baffled the city's police. The brilliant Chevalier Auguste Dupin investigates - can he find the solution where so many others before him have failed?

These three stories from the pen of Edgar Allan Poe are some of the most influential ever written, widely praised and credited with inventing the detective genre. This edition contains: 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', 'The Mystery of Marie Rogêt' and 'The Purloined Letter'."

I've been craving mysteries lately, so why don't we go back to the beginning, the master, Edgar Allan Poe!
