Our Halloween spooktacular begins with the grandfathers of Murder Mystery, with a little twist. Despite being familiar with the solutions, Flex is challenged with putting together a unified solution for Poe’s Murders in the Rue Morgue & The Purloined Letter. Is it possible to explain the exploits of Dupin with just one trick, linking the gothic horror master’s puzzles together? We also sit down with Christian Henriksson from ‘Mysteries, Short and Sweet‘ to talk more about Poe’s influence on our beloved genre, from damsels in distress to the true crime stories of the present day.
