Book Description
The old houses of Mussoorie stand like sentinels of the past, their thick stone walls and red roofs guarding long buried secrets. Even years after Independence, the town clings to its old ways—long, languid summers stretch on, untouched by the hum of television or the lure of the Internet. Step into this forgotten world, where echoes of the 1960s and ’70s still whisper through deserted hallways and shadowed verandas.
These tales will lead you deep into the heart of old Mussoorie—a world of passion and perfidy, love and loss, mystery and menace. While some stories will leave you smiling, reading others might send a chill down your spine. Here, murder lurks in the mist, romance blooms in secret corners, and revenge waits patiently in the dark.
Indian royalty, Lucknowi nawabs, and the last of the British spinsters who refused to leave India come together in a vivid, intoxicating portrait of a town where every door hides a story, and every shadow has a past.
Review
“In the Queen of Hills, where time stands still, love, betrayal and murder lurk behind every shadowed doorway.”
