The author's legendary title, Le mystère d'Edwin Drood is the last novel composed by Charles Dickens in 1870 and left unfinished due to his death before the final part. This ultimate novel which resembles a detective work thus leaves the mystery complete, and critics worldwide have, even to this day, never ceased attempting to reduce the obscure areas of the book.
