Charles Dickens’s final, unfinished novel has inspired generations of speculation …
Choirmaster John Jasper is a man of deep hypocrisy. His public reputation is flawless yet privately he leads an immoral life, frequenting squalid opium dens. And although outwardly he seems delighted with the betrothal of his nephew Edwin Drood to Rosa Bud, one of his choristers, secretly he is consumed by jealousy.
But he is not alone in hoping for Edwin’s demise. Among others, hot-tempered Neville Landless has also made an enemy of Drood – so when Edwin disappears, at whom should the accusing finger point?
