....The fact is, meanwhile, that, in the riddle story, the detective was an afterthought, or, more accurately, a deus ex machina to make the story go. The riddle had to be unriddled; and who could do it so naturally and readily as a detective? The detective, as Poe saw him, was a means to this end; and it was only afterwards that writers perceived his availability as a character.

Collection of American riddle stories, containing narratives from Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne and many more. Originally published in 1909.
