Edwin Drood is contracted to marry orphan Rosa Bud when he comes of age, but when they find that duty has gradually replaced affection, they agree to break off the engagement. Shortly afterwards, in the middle of a storm on Christmas Eve, Edwin disappears, leaving nothing behind but some personal belongings and the suspicion that his jealous uncle John Jasper, madly in love with Rosa, is the killer. And beyond this presumed crime there are further intrigues: the dark opium dens of the sleepy cathedral town of Cloisterham, and the sinister double life of Choirmaster Jasper, whose drug-fuelled fantasy life belies his respectable appearance. Dickens died before completing The Mystery of Edwin Drood, leaving its tantalising mystery unsolved and encouraging successive generations of readers to turn detective.

John Jasper is leaving an opium den and heading toward the Cloisterham Cathedral where he is the choirmaster. After the service, Edwin Drood, Jasper's nephew, comes to him and confesses that he has some misgivings about his betrothal to Rosa Bud. Rosa Bud lives in a boarding school called Nun's House and has a guardian named Mr. Grewgious, as she is an orphan as well. Rosa and Edwin were arranged in marriage by their parents before their deaths. Edwin visits Rosa at Nun's House and the two banter. Meanwhile, twins Neville and Helena Landless have arrived at Cloiseterham. There, the two will receive their respective educations, the former under Reverend Mr. Crisparkle and the latter at Nun's House. Neville confesses to Crisparkle that he hates his stepfather as he was abusive toward Helena, and he might have killed the man had he not been sent away. Rosa and Helena get along right away, and Rosa tells her friends that she's afraid of Jasper, the music instructor. Neville, believing that Edwin doesn't appreciate his betrothal to Rosa, exchanges "high words" with him. Jasper intervenes before the argument gets too heated. Rev Mr. Crisparkle later convinces Neville to apologize to Edwin, and he arranges for them to meet for dinner at Jasper's on Christmas Eve. Mr. Grewgious informs Rosa that she has inherited a substantial amount from her parents and that the fortune doesn't have any prerequisite that she marry Edwin. In another private meeting, Mr. Grewgious offers Rosa's mother's ring to Edwin with the understanding that he will give it back should he decide not to marry Rosa. Edwin and Rosa agree to end the engagement the next day. Mr. Grewgious is chosen to inform Jasper of the change.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood: Annotated by Charles Dickens Charles Dickens's final novel is The Mystery of Edwin Drood. The novel was unfinished when Dickens died, and readers have frequently speculated on how it might have ended. The book is named after one of Edwin Drood's characters, but it is primarily about his uncle, John Jasper, a choirmaster who is in love with his pupil, Rosa Bud. Miss Bud is Drood's fiancee. She also caught the attention of the fiery and high-spirited Neville Landless, who arrives from Ceylon with his twin sister, Helena, and quickly becomes Drood's adversary. Although it is strongly implied that Jasper is the assassin of Drood, who is missing at the end of the extant text, it is unknown whether Dickens intended a surprise. Cloisterham, a lightly fictionalized Rochester, is the setting for the story, which vividly evokes the town's atmosphere and its streets and buildings.
