El misterio de Marie Roget es el segundo misterio de poe que tiene como protagonista el detective Auguste Dupin. Este misterio contiene un poco de del género policiaco y terror. Inspirada en hechos reales. La historia cuenta el asesinato de una joven muy bella, popular y famosa. Una muerte misteriosa. Se trata de la joven Marie Rogêt que una mañana sale de casa diciéndole a su madre que va a casa de su tía y que no volverá hasta el anochecer, y que la irá a recoger el pretendiente. Éste, al ir a la residencia de la tía de Marie, se entera de que ella jamás estuvo allí y que no volvió a casa. Aun así, nadie se alarmó porque tres años antes también se había escapado, pero al cuarto día, se encontró su cadáver flotando en el río. Empezó, por parte de la policía, una minuciosa investigación con recompensa para encontrar al culpable o culpables. Dos semanas más tarde unos niños encontraron el escenario del crimen, donde se podía apreciar; el suelo pisoteado, trozos de tela en los arbustos próximos, una sombrilla y un pañuelo bordado con el nombre de Marie Rogêt, todos estos con una capa de musgo por encima. Por las características del bosque podemos deducir que esos objetos no llevaban más de dos días y también porque en esos lugares jugaban siempre esos niños que lo encontraron, pero el asesinato había ocurrido dos semanas antes. También un fenómeno curioso es que un cuerpo ahogado, tarda unas dos semanas en salir a flote, y este solo tardó dos días después de su desaparición. Todo apuntaba a una pandilla de malhechores, que habían violado y matado a una chica joven Mary Cecilia Rogers, poco tiempo antes, pero Allan Poe, no creía en esa teoría. Él mismo descubre que el asesinato lo llevó a cabo un enamorado de la víctima, que era marinero. La mata, la tira al río desde una barca, y después intenta simular que han sido la pandilla de chicos.

Quotes from the book:
"Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute."
"Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence– whether much that is glorious– whether all that is profound– does not spring from disease of thought– from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect."
"Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?"
