5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Literary experts have turned to crowd sourcing in a bid to solve the mystery of Charles Dickens' unfinished last novel. The author died before completing 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood', which revolves around the disappearance of an engineering student and the strange behaviour of his choirmaster uncle. Dickens expert from the University of Buckingham, Pete Orford, says "I don't think anyone will ever be satisfied with an ending". This clip is originally from 5 live Daily on January 5 2015.
