BOOK REVIEW : 

Some books grip you right from the first page and refuse to let go. “Cry of the Hornbill” by Husna is one such read—a haunting murder mystery set in the misty hills of Nagaland, where tradition, politics, and the supernatural collide in an unforgettable narrative.

The novel opens with a chilling crime: Tanya Singh, a young and ambitious photojournalist, is found decapitated during the famed Hornbill Festival. What initially appears to be a brutal murder soon unravels into something far more complex. Enter Inspector John Angami, a seasoned yet weary officer, who must navigate a maze of suspects, secrets, and sinister forces lurking in the shadows of Nagaland’s dense forests.
What makes “Cry of the Hornbill” stand out is its masterful storytelling. Every thread of the mystery is woven tightly—there are no loose ends, only clues and revelations waiting to be discovered.

With its atmospheric setting, razor-sharp plot, and an engaging mix of crime, politics, and folklore, “Cry of the Hornbill” is a standout murder mystery. The writing is immersive, the pacing keeps you hooked, and the cover? Simply stunning—exactly the kind that would catch any book lover’s eye.

If you’re a fan of tightly woven thrillers with a touch of the supernatural, this book is an absolute must-read. Husna delivers a gripping tale where trust can be fatal, and the truth is far more dangerous than it appears.
