Charles Dickens — The Mystery of Edwin Drood

1870 · Book · Public Domain

Dickens's final novel, left tantalizingly unfinished at his death in 1870, follows the disappearance of young Edwin Drood in the cathedral town of Cloisterham. Its unsolved central mystery — was Drood murdered, and by whom? — has made it literature's most famous incomplete detective story.
