Good job reading by Renard. Not Poe's best story by any stretch, but a good story, and important as the first locked-room mystery. Later authors wrote better locked room mysteries (much better, in fact), but this one is good, too, though short. Worth hearing for its historic importance to the genre, too.
Excellent Reader and a Creative Murder

Poe is superb in his storytelling... twisted and weird, but well done. I can see why Dupin earned the ire and disdain of Sherlock Holmes. Dupin's reasoning is nearly fantastical and on the surface not as logical as Holmes'.

Not the first mystery. The Chinese and the Jews had a few long before this. I found this both boring and unbelievable. If Poe hadn’t written it, it would be long forgotten.
Spoilers, much?

The quality of the reading was so-so, with little emphasis and occasional mistakes, but what really spoils things is the fact that the culprit is pictured on the thumbnail...

Excellent reading by Reynard T. Fox. Decidedly weird murder mystery with an unbelievable culprit. However, I’m certain the original audience was duly horrified by the sensational aspects of the crime.
Perfection.

One of Edgar Allen Poe's finest works. will always be a favourite 'pulling the rug out' discovery.
