Harold Schechter, writing as Edgar Allen Poe, has crafted not only a twising, turning murder mystery, but a wonderfully funny tale of the partnership forged between Poe and (of all people) Davey Crockett! Poe and Crockett are drawn together to try to solve a series of unexplainable murders, Crockett's swaggering "get it done" attitude combining with Poe's darkly brooding, detail-oriented observations. In the end, these two unlikely friends win the day, but along the way, the reader will be captivated by the mystery and mayhem, and will be treated to some of the funniest scenes between two friends as have ever been written.
Thankfully, Schechter has written other "Poe" books, including "The Hum Bug", "The Mask of Red Death", and "The Tell-Tale Corpse". In each, Poe teams up with an historically important character, each as opposite a personality to Poe's as you might get, to solve a mystery. I can't wait to read these last three, since reading "Nevermore" proved such a hoot!
