The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Charles Dickens
In Charles Dickens’s final, unfinished novel, a young man disappears from the cathedral town of Cloisterham, drawing suspicion toward those closest to him. The surviving chapters follow choirmaster John Jasper, Edwin Drood, Rosa Bud and Neville Landless through jealousy, secrecy and a mystery Dickens did not live to resolve.
