The story of Edwin Drood is a mystery within a mystery. When young Edwin disappears after dinner on Christmas Eve and his watch and chain are later found in the nearby river, everyone suspects foul play. Could one of Edwin's acquaintances have murdered him -- and, if so, what could their motive be? And how does this shocking event in a quiet cathedral town connect to the opium dens of London? Tragically, the mystery remains unsolved, as Dickens died before he could finish the novel. All that is left are the clues that can be found in the completed chapters.

Autorenporträt
Charles Dickens, a towering figure in English literature, needs little advent. His literary works, along with classics like "A Tale of Two Cities," "Great Expectations," and "David Copperfield," have left an indelible mark on literature. One of Dickens's lesser-acknowledged works, "The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices," is a collaborative effort co-authored with his friend Wilkie Collins. The book, posted in 1857, takes the shape of a travelogue and follows the fictitious adventure of idlers, Thomas Idle and Francis Goodchild. The narrative unfolds as a chain of humorous and reflective sketches recounting their adventures and encounters all through their travels. "The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices" gives readers a blend of Dickens's wit and Collins's storytelling prowess. The collaborative effort offers a satisfying exploration of person dynamics and the scenic backdrop of the English nation-state. Though not as extensively acclaimed as a number of Dickens's principal novels, this painting showcases the writer's versatility and his capacity to interact readers via numerous literary bureaucracy.
