The Mystery of Edwin Drood

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.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Dickens' last novel, is centred around a mystery involving a presumed crime: the murder of a nephew by his uncle. Tragically, Dickens passed away before completing the story, leaving the mystery unsolved and prompting successive generations of readers to take on the role of detective.

Beyond the engrossing nature of this intriguing crime, the novel offers readers a characteristically Dickensian blend of the fantastical world of imagination and a vividly journalistic portrayal of gritty reality.
