Poe vs Unsolved murder

Iris' detective story outline was called "Unsolved murder" reminded me of Poe's "Rue morgue", both stories involved the big clues being revealed by other people. In Iris' story, the detective, Jackson, hears about Jennifer's affair and that adds to his already large suspicions of Jennifer's husband Jeffrey. In "Rue morgue" the detective, Dupin, acquired most of his information just by asking people. Both stories make excellent uses of red herrings, which are clues planted in order for us to suspect someone other than the guilty party). In “Rue morgue” all the clues that we had led us to think it was a human, perhaps one of the people that heard the screaming, but then we learn later that there was a final clue, and that it was a monkey. In “unsolved Murder” the clues lead us to suspect Jeffrey, since he had the motive and he was there, but then we have to wonder who shot him. What happened to his wife’s lover? These questions make us doubt our original claim that Jeffrey was the killer. Dupin was much more deductive than Jackson. Dupin considered every single aspect of the stories he was given, while Jackson just pushed assumptions together that seemed plausible. The main difference between the two, which is also the main difference between “Unsolved murder” and most detective stories lies simply in the title, “Unsolved murder”, the mystery remains unsolved. It is up to the reader. We end up with the same information as the detective and we are left with the mystery. I am indifferent about that style of ending. On one hand, it can enrich the story by making the reader more involved and can lead to rereads, but it can also anger some readers. Most people go crazy trying to guess the end of a mystery, I think they will riot if they read a whole story and never get the name of the killer. Then again, new fiction is always dangerous at first.-
