Book Review of The Beautiful Cigar Girl: Mary Rogers, Edgar Allan Poe and The Invention of Murder

The Beautiful Cigar Girl: Mary Rogers, Edgar Allan Poe and The Invention of Murder
reviewed Couldn't even get past the first couple of chapters on + 8 more book reviews


I was hoping for more text and story on Poe but this was very heavily written (think 1850s America) and focused more on the overall development of the "murder mystery." Not what I was looking for.
