That’s right,
you sleuth: this is not a novel, but you’re going to have to allow me this one
cheat on Poe’s account. After all, Poe basically invented the genre, and “The
Murders in the Rue Morgue,” in which Dupin first appears, is widely considered
the first-ever detective story, and influenced all that came after. And
besides, Arthur Conan Doyle basically took Dupin and his unnamed confidante,
slapped pretty names on them, dropped them off in London, and created the
largest detective franchise of all time. Plus: these stories are amazing. Library catalog link.
