Charles Dickens' final and unfinished novel, *The Mystery of Edwin Drood*, is a dark, atmospheric mystery set in the mythical cathedral town of Cloisterham. The plot revolves around the disappearance of young Edwin Drood and the strange behaviour of his uncle, John Jasper, who is addicted to opium and acts as the choirmaster. Because Dickens died before completing the novel, the murder solution is still one of literature's most renowned mysteries.
