Little Dorrit

This is Dickens' only true mystery, a novel that he left unfinished at his death in 1870. Edwin Drood disappears soon after his engagement to Rosa Bud breaks up. Nobody is found. Suspects vie for Rosa's attention. The author left no clues about how the mystery would be solved.

Charles Dickens is probably the greatest novelist England ever produced. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life -- along with his memorable characters -- have made him beloved by readers the world over. In Dickens' books live some of the most repugnant villains in literature, as well as some of the most likeable (and unlikely) heroes.
