••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••THE SECRET ANGELS: Darya is in Chapel Road, Mumbai. She is here on a short study break. At first, she thinks it’s a quaint little lane to take pictures of and boast about to her friends. But soon she gets to know of the tragic mystery that lurks behind its peculiar charm. Three women have disappeared from there in the past years, purportedly taken by a serial killer. No dead bodies were ever found and no one was ever caught. And now it was that time of year again. Could Darya be next?
‘The Secret Angels is a gripping crime suspense novel that does not let up. It does not waste time and captures readers right away with its mystery. Chapel Road is introduced in both the physical and emotional sense with great imagery. The tone is dark and looming; the story is engrossing and it's so easy to read. In this tale, Bhattacharya shows Mumbai's culture and pressing social issues as she sends chills down her audience's spines.’ - Readers' Favorite starred review.
