The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a novel written by Charles Dickens, which was left unfinished due to his sudden death. It is a mystery story that revolves around the disappearance of the titular character, Edwin Drood, and the suspicion that he may have been murdered. The story takes place in the fictional town of Cloisterham, where Edwin's uncle, John Jasper, is a choirmaster and opium addict. As the investigation into Edwin's disappearance unfolds, various characters become suspects, including Jasper himself. The novel has a unique structure, with Dickens leaving clues and hints throughout the story, but ultimately leaving the resolution of the mystery up to the reader's interpretation. Despite its incomplete nature, The Mystery of Edwin Drood is still considered a classic of Victorian literature and a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the greatest writers of all time.1890. With illustrations. Dickens, English novelist, is considered by many to be the greatest of his country. His works were known to indict society's mistreatment and abuse of the poor, especially children. Dickens died before completing this novel, which on one hand is frustrating, but on the other it has afforded literary critics and mystery lovers the opportunity to solve the puzzle for themselves. No one will ever know who Dickens really had in mind as the murderer, or if indeed there was a murder at all, but In true Dickensian form The Mystery of Edwin Drood gives the reader lots of memorable characters, from the suspicious and tormented Jasper to the Reverend Crisparkle to Princess Puffer, the enigmatic Datchery and finally the gravedigger and his obnoxious but perceptive boy assistant.
