The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl

2.0

I hadn't realized there were so many theories as to the causes of Poe's death until I picked up this audio book at the library and did some research on the internet. The main character in this book fanatically attempts to find out the exact circumstances that led up to the poet's death. Unfortunately, he is very ineffective at everything he does and is unrealistically obsessed with his task. Maybe it was just the audio book narrator's performance, but Quinton is an annoying whiner. It also seems improbable that such an undertaking would become so perilous.
Narrated by Eric Singer.
