The action takes place in an ancient cathedral city and in some of the darkest places in Victorian London. Drugs, disappearances, sexual obsession, disguise and a possible murder are among the themes and motifs. A sombre and menacing atmosphere, a fascinating range of characters and Dickens' usual command of language combine to make this an exciting and tantalising story. Also included in this volume are a number of unjustly neglected stories and sketches, with subjects as different as murder, guilt and childhood romance. 517 $aMystery of Edwin Drood, The 676 $a823.83 700 $aDickens$b Charles$0154882 702 $aScofield$b Paul$f1922-2008$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910148878903321 996 $aMystery of Edwin Drood$912594 997 $aUNINA
