The Mystery of Edwin Drood

by Charles Dickens

Mystery · Novel

Open Library OL8763148W

The Mystery of Edwin Drood was his final novel and was left unfinished when he died. Though the novel is named after the character Edwin Drood, it focuses more on Drood's uncle, John Jasper, a precentor, choirmaster and opium addict, who lusts after his pupil, Rosa Bud.

About the author

Dickens filled novels with institutions, comic speech, and people the city would rather not count. The books here run from a short Christmas tale to the long arc of Great Expectations. More of this shelf for Charles Dickens.
