Description GoodReads

Charles Dickenss final, unfinished novel, and one that has puzzled readers and inspired writers since its publication, The Mystery of Edwin Drood is edited with an introduction by David Paroissien in Penguin Classics.

Edwin Drood is contracted to marry orphan Rosa Bud when he comes of age, but when they find that duty has gradually replaced affection, they agree to break off the engagement. Shortly afterwards, in the middle of a storm on Christmas Eve, Edwin disappears, leaving nothing behind but some personal belongings and the suspicion that his jealous uncle John Jasper, madly in love with Rosa, is the killer. And beyond this presumed crime there are further intrigues: the dark opium dens of the sleepy cathedral town of Cloisterham, and the sinister double life of Choirmaster Jasper, whose drug-fuelled fantasy life belies his respectable appearance. Dickens died before completing The Mystery of Edwin Drood, leaving its tantalising mystery unsolved and encouraging successive generations of readers to turn detective.  Charles Dickens is one of the best-loved novelists in the English language, whose 200th anniversary was celebrated in 2012. His most famous books, including Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield and The Pickwick Papers, have been adapted for stage and screen and read by millions.

Description Original

Charles Dickens published 6 of the 12 installments of this mystery but died before he could complete it. He left no detailed plans indicating how the mystery would end or what future installments would reveal. This has led to several generations of writers playing detective on their own and attempting to complete the compelling tale. How do you think it will end?

Though the novel is named after the character Edwin Drood, it focuses more on Droods uncle, John Jasper, a precentor, choirmaster, and opium addict, who is in love with his pupil, Rosa Bud. Rosa Bud however is also his nephew Edwin Droods fianc e and has also caught the eye of the high-spirited and hot-tempered Neville Landless. Edwin and Melville take an instant dislike to one another.  When Edwin Drood disappears under mysterious circumstances suspicions abound about Uncle John and Neville being possible killers. Follow this intriguing tale through the opium dens of Cloisterham and learn of the secret double drug-fueled life of Uncle Jasper who is clearly not the respectable choirmaster he appears to be.
