The Murders in the Rue Morgue

The narrator was in Paris and met Monsieur Dupin in a library while they were searching for the same book. Both lived together in a flat. One day they were reading the newspaper and saw that there were two terrible murders. The corpses were Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter.The room of the murders was  locked with the key inside and the windows were closed. Mr. Dupin asked the witnesses and they all said that the deep voice was of a Frenchman and the other, the shrill one, everyone said  had a different language. Nobody  agreed. As Mr. dupin was investigating, he came to the conclusion that the murderer had to be very agile and fast, and it wasn't human. The narrator was astonished with his partner. Finally Mr. Dupin solved the mistery and the murder was an orang-outang from the island of Borneo that was owned by a French sailor.

I liked this book very much because I love mistery books although I don't read frequently. In my opinion I think that Sherlock Holmes and Watson are inspired in these characters because Holmes is like Dupin: had a diferent vision of things regarding other people, and Watson is like the narrator because they admire their partners and learn from them.
