The Mystery of Edwin Drood (Completed By David Madden‪)‬

Sadly, when Charles Dickens died in 1870, he still had the second six of a planned twelve instalments of THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD to write. The only clues he left as to how he wanted to do this are contained in the first six. David Madden has accepted the challenge of ending it in the way Dickens intended. 


Maintaining Dickens’s repertoire of comedy, psychological acuity, inimitable description and turn of phrase is no easy task but David Madden has proved equal to it.
