 "Shewatcha sakshidar (शेवटचा साक्षिदार)" by Sanjay Kale - A Veerbhadra adventure! 

This book is published in 2018 and has 122 pages.

One day Veerabhadra saves a young girl (Bhanu) from musclemen of a Godman. She tells him that she’s the last witness of a murder. Veerabhadra decides to help her and Police officer Vinodrao along the way. The fight is with Godman Jatashankar.

What will Veerabhadra do? Can he save Bhanu? Can he dismantle the Godman? 

Veerabhadra is the good guy. He helps police solve cases, without taking credit for it. However, he doesn’t always operate within the ambit of law. Vijaya is his beautiful and equally capable wife. Bhairav is their servant, confidant and man Friday. Bhanu is the college going girl who witnessed the murder of her boyfriend. She is determined and doesn’t care for her life. Jatashankar is the villain who does all the despicable things like rape, murder etc. His reach is immense. Trahishankar is his son, out to prove his worth. Vinodrao doesn’t like Veerabhadra’s means but doesn’t mind when he gets the credit for the crime solved by Veerabhadra. He adores Vijaya like a younger sister but frowns upon Veerabhadra.

It’s a straight forward story with hardly any twists and turns. There is no surprises element, no major twists. The heart doesn’t pound. The pulse doesn’t race. You don’t sit on the edge of your chair. You aren’t eager to turn the page. But you also don’t get bored. You don’t abandon the book. It keeps you just interested.

Since it’s a short book you don’t mind but it’s too plain for a thriller.

Marathi grammar is bad. Too many wrong syntaxes (मी असं करेल). A little proof reading was in order. 

Why did I read this book? Marathi book after a long time

What did I like? Idea of character of Veerabhadra.  

What I didn't like? Too plain for a thriller. 

Not a must read.
