A Mussoorie Mystery is a short story or novella by Ruskin Bond, placing a mystery within his familiar and beloved setting of the Himalayan hill station of Mussoorie. The narrative would involve a quiet, local mystery—perhaps a theft, a disappearance, or an old secret—uncovered by the young protagonist or the author himself. The charm of the story lies in the juxtaposition of the peaceful mountain setting with the suspense of the investigation. The book highlights the subtle, often strange, dynamics of the small, close-knit hill community.
