Is there a letter count for q 100?

[paynekjk]

no extra info for Question 100 i'm afraid

[Tilly2]

100. Could it be something as simple as 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood'?

[Tilly2]

Sorry, just seen the last sentence!

[Tilly2]

There is also 'The Posthumous Papers of The Pickwick Club' but that doesn't fit either!

This is really going to irritate me. :-)

[emeritus]

The one that springs to mind is

Martin Chuzzlewit but that was published while he was alive

Not sure how you can write Posthumously ???

[Tilly2]

.....or A Christmas Carol.

The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit and A Christmas Carol are the only two novels titles with 'CH' in them, I think

[Tilly2]

Found another one.

The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby
