Book excerpt: The Mystery of Edwin Drood: Annotated by Charles Dickens Charles Dickens's final novel is The Mystery of Edwin Drood. The novel was unfinished when Dickens died, and readers have frequently speculated on how it might have ended. The book is named after one of Edwin Drood's characters, but it is primarily about his uncle, John Jasper, a choirmaster who is in love with his pupil, Rosa Bud. Miss Bud is Drood's fiancee. She also caught the attention of the fiery and high-spirited Neville Landless, who arrives from Ceylon with his twin sister, Helena, and quickly becomes Drood's adversary. Although it is strongly implied that Jasper is the assassin of Drood, who is missing at the end of the extant text, it is unknown whether Dickens intended a surprise. Cloisterham, a lightly fictionalized Rochester, is the setting for the story, which vividly evokes the town's atmosphere and its streets and buildings.

Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of Dickens' sudden death in 1870, he had completed six of the 12 monthly installments of Edwin Drood. Anxious readers on both sides of the Atlantic were stranded with what Don Richard Cox calls, the most popular unfinished novel ever written. Speculation about the book's conclusion soon began and, as the years have passed, literally scores of authors have tried their hands at completing the story, writing their own sequels, conclusions, parodies and alternative endings. There have been dozens of stage, radio, film and television versions as well. Mock trials have sought a legal solution to the puzzle, and even spiritualists have tried to contact the ghost of Dickens, hoping to discover what the author's plans really were.
