Interested in The mystery of Edwin Drood, especially with Charles Dickens, Samuel Luke Fildes, Charles Bernard Derosne, TC, John Cuming Walters behind it. Is there a particular edition worth finding?

Cian, that is what I like about a shortlist. It makes me stop endlessly browsing and actually choose.

The mystery of Edwin Drood is one I am weighing up. Could someone add a spoiler-free note about the opening? That is usually what helps me choose.

Aisling, that is a good way of choosing. I tend to match the pick to the evening as well.

For anyone considering The mystery of Edwin Drood: Keeping this on the list for a quieter evening rather than trying to squeeze it in.
