The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a novel written by Charles Dickens in 1867, which was left unfinished due to the author's sudden death.

The novel features a diverse cast of characters, including the enigmatic John Jasper, who is obsessed with Edwin's fianc�����e, Rosa Bud; the kind-hearted and wise choirmaster, Mr. Crisparkle; and the hot-headed Neville Landless, who is accused of Edwin's murder.The novel was originally published in installments as part of Dickens' literary magazine, Master Humphrey's Clock, and was accompanied by a series of sketches known as ""Sketches by Boz.""
