Note: Charles Dickens died before he completed "The Mystery of Edwin Drood". We have only half the story Dickens intended to tell.

How would Dickens have completed his mystery? No one knows. You may enjoy reading "The D. Case, or The Truth About The Mystery of Edwin Drood", by Charles Dickens, Carlo Fruttero, and Franco Lucentini (1989, translated from the Italian by Gregory Dowling, published 1992 by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, New York. ISBN 0-15-113732-3). It outlines the principal theories in an enjoyable framework, a conference of fictional detectives.

The public domain e-text of "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" was scanned and proofread by David Price. This html edition was prepared by Ken Roberts, and is also in the public domain.
