After Edgar Allan Poe wrote The Murders in the Rue Morgue, it was clear that Poe possessed the talents of a true detective. In the first novella, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," Poe narrated the story in the perspective of an ultra-analytical friend and sidekick to the even more analytical detective, Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin. The intuitive understanding that Poe has of "the analytical  and the understanding that he displays of his detective character is the first piece of evidence that proves the implication that Poe would make a good detective (Poe 3).

When Dupin explained to the narrator how he was able to do this, he reiterated his analytic observations of the narrator, and logically explained his reasoning. Because Poe created Dupin, he must have had a personal understanding the abilities that a real-life detective needs. Preceding the phenomenal interaction where Dupin appeared to have clairvoyantly read the narrator's mind, the detective had been effort
