Death strikes England's foremost novelist, Charles Dickens, his latest tale only half told. Was he murdered because someone feared a ruinous revelation? Or was it revenge for some past misdeed? Set in the Kent countryside and London slums of 1870, Lyn Squire's Immortalised to Death reveals the ending to Charles Dickens' unfinished The Mystery of Edwin Drood while diving deep into Dickens' evolving and ultimately tragic double life. Debut author, Lyn Squire, kicks off his electrifying Dunston Burnett Trilogy with legendary Victorian novelist Charles Dickens dead at his desk, pen still in hand.
The mystery unravels as Dickens' nephew and unlikely detective, Dunston Burnett, tries to find the solution to his uncle's unfinished novel. Convinced that the identity of Dickens' murderer lies in the book's missing conclusion, Dunston becomes obsessed with investigating those closest to Dickens. A stunning revelation crowns this tale about the mysterious death of England's foremost novelist, and the long-held secret hidden in his half-finished manuscript.
​
The deft plotting will remind readers of Agatha Christie and the evocative prose will have them questioning which parts of the book are fiction and nonfiction. Squire seamlessly re-imagines Dickens' untimely death and final unfinished story while tying neatly into a thrilling whodunnit. Is Dunston Burnett, a diffident, middle-aged, retired bookkeeper, able to crack the case of his uncle's murder, or does he only find buried secrets in his brilliant continuation to Dickens' novel?
