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.

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

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)
