'I loved you madly; in the distasteful work of the day, in the wakeful misery of the night, girded by sordid realities, or wandering through Paradises and Hells of visions into which I rushed, carrying your image in my arms, I loved you madly.'

'I loved you madly; in the distasteful work of the day, in the wakeful misery of the night, girded by sordid realities, or wandering through Paradises and Hells of visions into which I rushed, carrying your image in my arms, I loved you madly.' Dickens's final novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a remarkable mystery concerning a complicated love triangle. Left unfinished at the time of Dickens's death, several adaptations of the book have attempted to provide a fitting conclusion to the story – although Dickens's plans for the plot remain enigmatic. Published in 1870, the year Dickens died, The Mystery of Edwin Drood is often considered by many as an incomplete masterpiece, and it continues to influence popular culture today. It recounts the story of Edwin Drood, a young man engaged to the charming Rosa Bud. His Uncle, John Jasper – a choirmaster and opium addict – secretly lusts after Rosa, who is one of his pupils. After Edwin goes missing, his belongings found in a nearby river, suspicion falls on the hot-tempered Neville Landless, who took an instant dislike to Drood and was simultaneously enchanted by Rosa. But is the culprit for Edwin's disappearance as simple as it seems? This audiobook edition is brilliantly narrated by Ben Allen. Charles Dickens (1812 – 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the twentieth century, critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are widely read, performed and adapted today.
