El misterio de Edwin Drood es la última novela de Charles Dickens, quedó inacabada en el momento su muerte y, por lo tanto, se desconoce la forma en que podría haber terminado. La acción tiene lugar en la ciudad imaginaria de Cloisterham y cuenta la misteriosa desaparición del joven Edwin Drood después de romper su compromiso con Rosa Bud, con quien estaba destinado a contraer matrimonio desde que ambos eran niños, y de celebrarse una fiesta nocturna en casa de su tío Jack Jasper, destinada a celebrar su reconciliación con un enemigo pasajero, Neville Landless. “La interrupción de Edwin Drood de Dickens significó mucho más que la interrupción de una buena novela de un gran hombre. Parece más bien la última burla de algún elfo que al dejar el mundo quiso que quedara inconclusa esta historia, que es solo una historia. La única de las novelas de Dickens que este no concluyó era la única que realmente necesitaba una conclusión”.G. K. Chesterton
