Arts & Literature

The Mystery of Edwin Drood

Charles Dickens’ The Mystery of Edwin Drood was meant to be a gripping murder mystery — but the real mystery is that it was never finished. Dickens died in 1870, leaving the novel incomplete and ending mid-sentence. To this day, no one knows for sure who the killer was or how the story ends. The unfinished book has sparked endless theories, fan-written endings, and adaptations, making it one of literature’s most enduring whodunits — without a final answer.

Entertainment
