?On the morning of 19 September, while Miss Mountstephen was still away, Miss Garnett-Orme was found dead in her bed. The door was locked from the inside. On her bedside table was a glass. She was positioned on the bed as though laid out by a nurse or undertaker.? From ?A Mussoorie Mystery? by Ruskin Bond There are very few readers who don?t get a feeling of satisfaction from reading a good short story. It is the ending to a story that can make the reader sit up and think about it?some can be good, some twisted and some absolutely anticlimactic! Read about a couple who set out to get the perfect gift for each other and the surprising twist in the end in ?The Gift of the Magi?; a robotic dancing partner, which creates more menace than a human partner ever can in ?The Dancing Partner?; and Bond?s own telling of a mystery set in Mussoorie, which caught the fancy of none other than Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes; and many more such stories. Selected and edited by Ruskin Bond, this collection is abound with several fantastic, scary, surprising and humorous stories.
