{"product_id":"2940169621457","title":"The Mystery of Edwin Drood: An Unfinished Novel by Charles Dickens","description":"Published after his death, Dickens brilliantly brings to life a broad cast of colorful characters in the never solved mysterious disappearance of one Edwin Drood, all set in the rural hamlet of Cloisterham around the Cathedral close.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mystery of Edwin Drood is Charles Dickens¿s brilliant contribution to the field of crime and detection. In fact, the novel is even more of a mystery than Dickens himself intended, for he died before completing it, making it a favorite of literary detectives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgainst a background of opium dens, nocturnal graveyard visits, and moldering monastic crypts, Dickens weaves a tightly knit plot centered on the ominous disappearance of young Edwin Drood. Suspected of foul murder are John Jasper, a drug-addicted choir-master who hungers after Drood¿s fiancée, and Neville Landless, a Ceylonese who had previously quarreled violently with the missing man. With dark, brooding atmosphere and masterful characterization, Dickens is at the height of his powers in this final work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003eChapter 01: The Dawn\u003cbr\u003eChapter 02: A Dean, and a Chapter Also\u003cbr\u003eChapter 03: The Nuns¿ House\u003cbr\u003eChapter 04: Mr. Sapsea\u003cbr\u003eChapter 05: Mr. Durdles and Friend\u003cbr\u003eChapter 06: Philanthropy in Minor Canon Corner\u003cbr\u003eChapter 07: More Confidences Than One\u003cbr\u003eChapter 08: Daggers Drawn\u003cbr\u003eChapter 09: Birds in the Bush\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: Smoothing the Way\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: A Picture And A Ring\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: A Night With Durdles\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13: Both at Their Best\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14: When Shall These Three Meet Again?\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15: Impeached\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16: Devoted\u003cbr\u003eChapter 17: Philanthropy, Professional and Unprofessional\u003cbr\u003eChapter 18: A Settler in Cloisterham\u003cbr\u003eChapter 19: Shadow on the Sun-Dial\u003cbr\u003eChapter 20: A Flight\u003cbr\u003eChapter 21: A Recognition\u003cbr\u003eChapter 22: A Gritty State of Things Comes On\u003cbr\u003eChapter 23: The Dawn Again","brand":"Mark Boyd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161937035504,"sku":"2940169621457","price":9.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169621457_p0.jpg?v=1763689395","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169621457","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
