Synopsis

Published after his death, Dickens brilliantly brings to life a broad cast of colorful characters in the never solved mysterious disappearance of one Edwin Drood, all set in the rural hamlet of Cloisterham around the Cathedral close.The Mystery of Edwin Drood is Charles Dickens’s brilliant contribution to the field of crime and detection. In fact, the novel is even more of a mystery than Dickens himself intended, for he died before completing it, making it a favorite of literary detectives.Against a background of opium dens, nocturnal graveyard visits, and moldering monastic crypts, Dickens weaves a tightly knit plot centered on the ominous disappearance of young Edwin Drood. Suspected of foul murder are John Jasper, a drug-addicted choir-master who hungers after Drood’s fiancee, and Neville Landless, a Ceylonese who had previously quarreled violently with the missing man. With dark, brooding atmosphere and masterful characterization, Dickens is at the height of his powers in this final work.Table of ContentsChapter 01: The DawnChapter 02: A Dean, and a Chapter AlsoChapter 03: The Nuns’ HouseChapter 04: Mr. SapseaChapter 05: Mr. Durdles and FriendChapter 06: Philanthropy in Minor Canon CornerChapter 07: More Confidences Than OneChapter 08: Daggers DrawnChapter 09: Birds in the BushChapter 10: Smoothing the WayChapter 11: A Picture And A RingChapter 12: A Night With DurdlesChapter 13: Both at Their BestChapter 14: When Shall These Three Meet Again?Chapter 15: ImpeachedChapter 16: DevotedChapter 17: Philanthropy, Professional and UnprofessionalChapter 18: A Settler in CloisterhamChapter 19: Shadow on the Sun-DialChapter 20: A FlightChapter 21: A RecognitionChapter 22: A Gritty State of Things Comes OnChapter 23: The Dawn Again
