Product Description

Review

"'Miss Havisham's Revenge' by Alanna Knight, in which we discover the part Estella Havisham played in the fate of Bentley Drummle 'Murder in Murray's Court' by David Stuart Davies, in which Oliver Twist has to help the Artful Dodger who has been accused of murder 'The Thorn of Anxiety' by Keith Miles, in which the mystery of Edwin Drood is at last solved 'The Divine Nature' by Kate Ellis, in which David Copperfield finds himself investigating the disappearance of Edward Murdstone 'The Letter' by Joan Lock, in which the skills of Inspector Bucket are once again put to the test in solving a crime that apparently never happened. 'Reveals the strength and ingenuity of this sub-section of the whodunnit genre... Great fun.' Good Book Guide"


Product Description

Charles Dickens created some of the most memorable characters in English literature. But just what became of the convict that frightened young Pip in "Great Expectations"? Was he guilty, or framed? And what really did become of Edwin Drood? Was the case ever solved?Mike Ashley presents over 25 vivid new whodunnits from the world of Dickens - recorded for posterity by such writers as Michael Pearce, Amy Myers, Peter Tremayne, Alanna Knight, Kage Baker, and Edward D. Hoch.Many of the stories feature one or more of Dickens' characters, as a sleuth or as the victim of crime; while others are set in Dickens' real life, with him investigating people closely associated with him, such as Wilkie Collins, Elizabeth Gaskell or Hablot Browne. Interlinking the stories is a narrative that brings alive Dickens' own life and part in the early development of crime sleuthing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dickensian Whodunnits, 10 Feb 2009
By Ms. E. A. Mcpartling - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although I wasn't too sure about this book I have to say it was well worth reading. I haven't read any books by these authors but will do so now. As a fan of medievel whodunnits this was quite different but very enjoyable. Scrooge and his amended ways, David Copperfield detecting crime, yes it is a very good read whether you are a Dickens follower or not. The stories are cleverly woven around the period giving colourful images of the characters and plots. Well worth the money and I can highly recommend it.
