A review by sevseverance
The Last Dickens by Matthew Pearl

4.0

This was a fun read. The author tried to stay as close to true as possible and explored the mystery surrounding Dickens' last work, the mystery of Edwin Drood. He actually died after only completing 6 of its 12 installments. This book is about his American publisher traveling to London trying to find any clues about the remainder. A few dark 19th century criminals makes for a good mystery and story. I learned more about dickens and his travels to America; also motivated to read the mystery of edwin drood now...
