The Purloined Letter

Very good mystery story. I enjoyed reading it, had me thinking the whole time. They couldn’t find the letter because they were searching in usually places.. They didn’t think out the box. They weren’t putting themselves in the shoe of the robber. Durpin was able to find the letter; the story they explain how he comes up to find it there. Edgar Allen Poe is trying to tel readers how we can rush through things; we should take a step back, think and view things one by one and that just might help us.
